Look look look look look closely. Followed. Look. Look look look look. Look look look look. Look look closely. Follow. Let's. Let. The 2nd. One of the. Friends become one of the biggest names and. We're going different directions when the band split George's story. But. He's just. Published his memoirs wham George and me we spoke earlier in the week and originally lived in sorry born in winter sim and grew up in the UK grew up spent a 1st 5 years in Eggen in actual facts of. Hazy memories of. The growing up properly was down the bushy harvester and meeting George how did the 2 you becomes mates Well he was the new boy. The 1st day of term 1975 form to a one bushmeat comprehensive He was introduced to the class. And the teacher asked for someone who take him under their wing and and shepherding through the 1st few weeks at school and he unfortunately was the only person put their hand up actually so there were no other takers is that because you're a good soul or what. No because I thought there would be sport to be had with a new boy. And that turned out to be the case. Where we had a great time we became firm friends very very quickly shared juvenile schoolboy humor and an obsession with pop music. Become great friends very quickly and I guess fans of the band and your music would like to think that even when it finished after all that business at Wembley Stadium the Big Finish and all of that that the 2 of you remained friends offstage is that the case or not yes certainly we were friends right through and whilst we brought to an end by who was by no means the end of our friendship George obviously went on allies diversion a wee bit because he he went on to fulfill his artistic destiny as a great singer songwriter so but you know we stepped on stage that day at that evening at Wembley and went to a party together so it was by no means there at the end of the end of our friendship and again looking in from the outside because the 1st time I ever had a chance to talk to Andrew was it a conscious decision for you to remove yourself from public life and do something else how how were you thinking yes I had the press interest it got a little bit intrusive from my point of view and I did want to remove myself from the from the glare of the spotlight and public life so and I had a pursuits and hobbies I wish to pursue and so yeah I did remove myself. And was was that an easy process because you live living it's going credible life and then you go for something altogether more quiet Was that a good. Yes it was it was what I wanted to do so I had no I had no trouble doing that it wasn't. I didn't yearn for the spotlight at that but I never yearned for the spotlight in actual fact it was. Celebrity and success and and fame were a consequence of doing what we what we wanted to Our ambition was to become was to be in a band and make records and write songs and everything else was incidental there was no there was no aspiration to become famous as such or but there was an aspiration to be successful and succeed in our chosen path. I was talking to people early about connections with otherwise miking Bogner said a friend of his was a former Ford race and they were testing at brands or Mallory and his friend says that you had a spin and went past his mate on your roof is there is that like to be true. Mallory I never read I never Mallory's or another racetrack did you have a stack it essentially when you were a yes there was an occasion where a rolled around 05. Which ended up on its roof. Ok we'll go there's our answer for that one is this also also true because a friend of mine swears that she saw at the Brighton Center and you to remove shuttlecocks from your white tennis shorts and whack them out into the crowd with racquets Is that true or not I wasn't there. Well it's partially true because that was George's act not mine and it was one that I always witness in horror to be absolutely honest with you. I could imagine that being the case as well anyway if it pleased him that's fine and certainly please please elements of the audience I can tell you that my friend was impression I thought I was great and how did you discover this particular nectar in the notes I got for today said Andrew is partial to a pint of Harveys Sussex best how did you discover this. I discovered Harvey's Sussex best the great British Beer Festival what decade or more ago no other beguile fan and obvious Sussex best is for me the finest exposition of English best spaces there is ever been for the brewery and Lois.
