My recent wide ranging interview with the excellent StrawberrySwitchblade.net fan site is out! Here is an extract from the introduction:

"In late 1983, Strawberry Switchblade recruited additional musicians to become a live gigging band again. Guitarist Simon Emmerson (aka Simon Booth) brought in Scritti Politti’s Tom Morley on drums, and ex-Angels One 5 bassist John Cook ... After an abortive recording session, Morley was swapped out for Roy Dodds, and that line-up went on to play a bunch of gigs, record a BBC radio session, and make the first recordings intended for the debut album. ... John’s involvement in the band at the time and analysis of what they did provides a unique perspective on the Strawberry Switchblade story".
