METAL BOY
A fuzzy little film shot on an old-skool mobile phone by the lovely Mandy Jones, of me
singing Metal Boy at the Windmill in Brixton. I don’t know if I was headlining that night
- I might have been supporting Mitch Benn - but Gary always went down well there
regardless. The picture is indistinct and the soundtrack isn’t synchronised, but you can
still feel the energy of the performance and, if nothing else, it proves I could actually
do it (it was quite a tricky song to sing, but here it seems effortless). My eternal
gratitude to Mandy - she came to so many of these shows and went out of her way to
record so many bits like this, so it’s only thanks to her that I’m able to look back and
marvel. But I can’t host it here so you’ll have to click through to YouTube to see it.
