A musical genius being interviewed by one of the best interviewers this country has ever produced

John McKay was a spectacular guitarist. That riff on Hong Kong Garden is sublime.

😂😂😂

I had a ticket to see them on the Sunday (at the Kinema Ballroom in Dunfermline)after the Aberdeen fiasco, and it got cancelled, 😡 was so looking forward to it

In those days, a divorce was a scandal.

Servalan and Marc Almond were never seen in the same room together. Just saying...

Classic.. 😂

I always wonder what musical direction they would of done if they hadn't of split???

C reative R ealisations A ssociates P roductions 😂

Cope has always been very inspiring. Really good interview. Interesting that you can consume buckets of acid over the years and come out this lucid.

They were so damn lucky Mcgeoch came along, that has to be destiny, no? They were amazing before that but then they blossomed into something even more extraordinary. It’s a shame Mcgeoch didn’t stay longer, they ran out of ideas after that which is probably why they’ve been forgotten to a certain extent, which is shame, juju is a masterpiece.

Soolin the best female member of the crew for me , not merely because of her beauty , she was much like Avon in her sense of humour and wit , together they could have ruled the universe if it wasnt for this idealism of finding Blake, they were all great but. Not wasnt aware Clive James was a fan , grat guy great Australian

Terry Wogan such a good sport. Great sketch.

I guess the record store thing was just the last drop ...

Kevin are these my fingers ? 😂😂😂😂😂

It's a miracle, It's a wander.... one thousand hidden n....

You have a defect in your heart if their ain't room for Julian Cope in it!

It's a shame what happened to that stellar line-up; John McKay was a talented guitarist and the group would have benefitted more with him at the helm.

"No, Cookie. I swear it. I'm scared of you." is how I feel about Siouxsie. lol Equal parts mesmerizing and terrifying.

Nils Stevenson certainly didn't help matters.

Like they described, these things are never because of an isolated incident. It sounds like it was just the last straw after a long period of conflict. Bands are known for their conflicts, especially during touring though so i really wonder what could've been. Especially since i love Mckay's playing.

Siouxsie comes out of this as a “c u next Tuesday” to be fair

as a kid at the time and even now blakes 7 was the best ever avon was my hero and i had a crush on seralan

Thanks for posting. I've never seen that before. Jaqueline Pearce is brilliant.

I love that they were so scared of her. 😂I love Siouxsie! Such a great story. Good riddance.

Thanks Kenny 🙏☝️🥳😎

A unique and unfortunate situation in rock history. What confuses me most, though, isn't their fight or the drama, but rather Siouxsie Sioux of ALL people would call them arty artsters or whatever. At the first show after the two fled, she opened by saying "the two from art school fucked off. If you see them, beat them up" or whatever (paraphrasing). She's one of THE most visually, lyrically, theatrically artistic people ever. Goes to show, I guess, that she was of a sort of thinking where there's "real art. Instinctual art. raw art." and then whatever she saw theirs as. Perhaps all style no substance. Silly, of course, given she'd been recording with them and knew their talent. Band dysfunction like this never makes me like a band less. It makes what's otherwise just pictures in a magazine or the back of a record and words in an article into complex, HUMAN people. It makes their highest highs in their catalog MORE impressive. It makes their misfires somehow more relatable and forgivable. While I love this band and so many other bands and am certainly guilty of obsessing over bands and albums, the whole rock god or worship stuff is b.s. Artists (be it Siouxsie's definition of artists in the pejorative or not lol) are messy humans and this specific incident, while so negative, seemed to be resolved years later in a very oddly coincidental, magical way. Typical for the band.

Yes Lance Ellington her son appears as one of the singers on Strictly Come Dancing. Its such a crime that there is no retained footage of Leila Williams on Blue Peter, there were recordings but they have been destroyed over the years. The first recording of Blue Peter was made in 1959 with Chris Trace and Leila., all that remains of that is the very beginning showing the original opening titles. The second known recording was film of Chris and Leila at the Harrogate Toy Fair in November 1961 which was played into one of the November 1961 programmes. The third known recordings were telerecordings made of Leila's last ever programmes in early January 1962. Her final programme was 8 January 1962 and she didn't return to the programme until she was a guest on the 20th Anniversary programme 16 October 1978.

That was too short!! Yet, it is enjoyable, too. Blake's 7 is a cult classic. Low budget, but its content is the most valuable.

Still think this is one of the funniest skits I've ever seen

Join Hands is brilliant

Mad Tv anyone?

I think it's kind of funny that John and Kenny seemed to have been terrified of Siouxsie tracking them down on the train. But she does seem to have been genuinely difficult to deal with at the time.

Shame cos this was the best banshees line up - the scream surpasses anything they did since - Morris and McKay are truly unique players in their own right and looked so perfect for the band.

They were treated poorly and eventually they left.

I'm a massive fan of Siouxie's talent, but she sounds difficult to work with.

What a fantastic excerpt. I’ve never seen that before 😊

Rock and roll!

miss this man what a legend

such a shame they split because John McKay & Kenny Morris were the backbone of the band with a marvellous sound. John's unique guitar work was phenomenal - like a big wall of rusting industrial machinery. Siouxsie's vocals were at their best with that original line-up, as were the lyrics, just imho. It all went relatively wishy washy mamby pamby after they left. Yes there was some great music. But the energy was never the same. I had long suspected - and it sounds from this - that John & Kenny fled from a long series of being insulted, put down and bullied. They had had more than enough of it and their quality of life, their mental health and self-esteem mattered more than being in the band. And Siouxsie's remarks here add weight to that impression.

Going down a Rick wakeman rabbit hole why is he in a Soviet outfit

I had no idea they patched things up I'm definitely going to show this to a group

brilliant

Judging by their behaviors in these interviews afterward it seems like Siouxsie was very childish and angry, even years after the fact. I'm more willing to side with John McKay and Kenny Morris since it sounds like they escaped an abusive atmosphere.

genius. both of them are missed.

Good one!

Rip dermot and frank

a truly great british scifi show which delivers so much on a limited budget. regards from an american fan !.

1:53 Germanium circuitry. Oh yes, nothing quite like an AC128.
