In the very early days the guy that got us our gigs was in the Communist party. Are you a bit of a politico on the sly? There’s that infamous story about you being in the Communist party … You’ve got environmental songs on the new album. Nick Lowe recommended I cover the song after we bumped into him in the pub. True story.ĭo you think the squillions who bought Green Door had any idea about the persistent urban myth that it was about a lesbian club (3)? Mind you, wasn’t the apparently cheery This Ole House (2) based on a similarly grim story? Stuart Hamblen wrote it about coming across the body of a prospector in a deserted shack.

So the stories lent themselves to blues, gospel, Cajun and mandolins. Some of them were so tired at the end of the day that they’d fall off the ladders and never wake up. A lot went on as well, which we won’t go into. They’d spend hours on these ladders going down the hole. My grandfather was a copper miner at the age of 10. One of my ancestors was blown up in the first world war. So I started digging around and it was shocking. I got to a certain age and realised I knew nothing about my family history, ’cos when you’re growing up it’s all hush hush. We’ve been playing it to them and not telling them who it is.
