This week, Nathan and Will are joined by Andy Macleod: promotor, author and ‘Godfather of Goth’ Robert Smith in London-based The InCureables, a tribute to The Cure.

A lightbulb moment on Parliament Hill and musician spotting at the local lido led to the fastest ever – and perhaps only – lido-formed tribute band. 

Andy talks about avoiding the cliches when performing as someone else, his grand ambitions for recreating The Cure in Orange, and the success of his former band manager, Ricky Gervais. 

We chat about wigs, the fine line between parody and sincerity and the surprising demographics of tribute band audiences and how this impacts setlists. 

Will reveals that he has run out of revelations.
