In this fifty minute podcast, Watkins details how he, Robin McKidd and Gary Rickard formed the basis of the band that stormed the London pub scene of the 80s once they were joined by Arthur Kitchener and Kieran O’Connor.
He tells of how Arthur funded the recording of the first album from a Thatcher hand-out and relates stories around the recording of the other four albums.
