The Paranoid Squirrel ep 1049

Acweorna! This week’s Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show is in a slightly different format as I’m still recovering from this super Flu that has been doing the rounds. I haven’t had the where with all to listen to all the best in Punk, Junk & Glunk that has been sent my way over the last few weeks or indeed reply to messages and texts. I’m not ignoring you I’ve just not been up to it. A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by Mark Ellen & David Hepworth who have been talking and writing about music together and individually for a collective eighty years in magazines like Smash Hits, Mojo and The Word and on radio and TV programmes like “Rock On”, “Whistle Test” and VH-1. So, for this week’s show it is that interview. Abnormality will return next week.
