She would prove to be his lifelong soulmate and partner. By the mid Seventies the pair were making a decent living, involved in Londons cannabis underworld, and Perrett put together The Only Ones, with Zena as manager. The group consisted of acerbic, pragmatic guitar prodigy John Perry, chalk to Perretts cheese, bassist Alan Mair, whod already tasted local success as part of a band famous in Scotland, and drummer Mike Kellie, once in prog outfit Spooky Tooth and a veteran of the hippy scene. The Only Ones established a reputation as one of the most dynamic live bands of the immediate post punk years, but they did not fit in. Their music had the right edginess, bite and occasional sneer, but they were more self absorbed, radiating decadence and Byronic excess, their songs pithy exercises in laconic snap.

Those who wish to fill in the extensive blanks would do well to read Nina Antonias recently updated Perrett biography, The One Only Peter Perrett, Homme Fatale, which is rich with all the juicy details. It was in honour of this that Perrett agreed to an interview, although he has also started to emerge again from his shell, finally free, it appears, of the drugs. Watch The Only Ones perform Someone Who CaresI meet him in his small Islington flat. Fittingly, it used to be Pathway Studios, where many Stiff Records bands recorded, from Elvis Costello to Madness. In the little kitchen living room studio Perrett reclines next to me on a sofa. Zena appears a couple of times, politely asking if all is well. Both are charming, diminutive figures, their breath sometimes short due to COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, a serious lung condition thats the result of decades smoking heroin and crack. Perrett wears a loose blue shirt, black travellers pants, grubby off white Converse boots and a pair of Ray Bans that never leave his face in three hours.

Most of this is edited out but, other than that, its my pleasure to present a rare and extensive audience with one of popular musics most underrated master songwriters. THOMAS H GREEN Its been suggested that Malcolm Mc. Laren may have had you in his sights as a possible protg just before he began with the Sex Pistols. PETER PERRETT Not that he told me. Him and Vivienne Westwood became friends. They came round to our house and we went to their flat in Clapham. He listened to my music but he never asked if I was interested in joining a band. He realised I very much write my own songs. I wasnt of an age to be moulded, I wasnt impressionable. He took me round to a flat in Denmark Street where Steve Jones and Paul Cook were. They had Roadrunner by Jonathan Richman the Modern Lovers on the Dansette with the arm up. Software Usage Metrics Is Enabled here. I got the impression that was the only record they had. He was giving them musical education as to what he thought the next thing would be. We met him at the beginning of 1. He always used to say he wanted to make a band like the Bay City Rollers but a bad version which I dont think is what happened. He liked the way their fans wore the same clothes, the tartan, and he was clever, closely linking music with fashion power. I had no idea about that as a good business scheme. I thought he was really funny, a court jester. I didnt understand his relationship with Vivienne. Quite a lot of the time was spent with Vivienne driving round various pubs looking for Malcolm. Wed find Malcolm at some pub with Steve Jones, I knew in a way their relationship couldnt last. Being a loyal and traditional person I get upset when people break up. How about John Lydon The first time I met Johnny, me and Zena were giving Vivienne a lift and she asked if we could drop this kid off and he really was like kid, didnt say a word. Now hes very lippy with opinions about everything. Back then he was a shy kid we gave a lift to Finsbury Park. The last time I saw him was at Basing Street Studios, just outside Studio 2, him and Jah Wobble after the Pistols. He said to me, Your songs are very depressing, arent they They didnt get the sense of humour at all and the songs were often about depressing subjects. Are you devoted to Tottenham Hotspur Unfortunately, yes, its my last addiction but its the most painful addiction Ive ever had. When I used to like football in the Sixties the hippies didnt like it, nor did the punks in the Seventies, so it was an unusual thing to like football. You were frowned on by your punk peersMost of my friends werent into football, definitely, especially hippies because they were all into smoking hash and that. Id always been into sport and athletics. Football was the thing I was best at. When I used to play at Bancrofts Boarding School I used to hate all the other sports really. It was a rugby school. There was one teacher, if he caught you playing football youd get the cane. When I was at school, it was football to age 1. I hated rugby, still do. I got sent off playing for the school. It was quite a violent game. I got brutalised and Id strike out at whoever was nearest. I used to play on the wing and the opposite winger I was meant to go low and tackle him round the legs but I just ran up and punched him on the jaw. I got sent off, to the disgrace of the school. But, to me, thats what that game was about. You got caught in a loose scrum and people would grab your bollocks. Were you bullied at school At this boarding school, in the first year, everybody was bullied. The monitors the prefects had fags. The word fag had nothing to do with homosexuality, it just meant slave, so I was a slave. Theyd make you do things like peel their potatoes so Id cut them into tiny cubes because it was easier and saved time. News Breaking stories updates. Weve noticed youre adblocking.
