Snake hipped mofo. Those were the days when our heroes were attractive, climbed hard and then retired to the middle of nowhere to indulge in some sado bullshit. What do we have now? Dead hanging and heads like turnips!

Im also slightly disappointed as I thought this might have been the come back of all come backs!

[a dense loner]

Exactly what I thought! The comeback bit

You're also man enough to acknowledge the snake hipped Jim Morrison things, no?

My memory is that Pollit, Moffit and co invented deadhanging.
They only got interesting after they retired.

That's not what I've heard! Maybe an interesting book then?

I hope no-one's holding their breath.

On this subject I'd been trying to find some recorded interviews with Andy online to no avail. Sure I'd listened to them via a link off here a while back.  Anyone any ideas?

Their idea of wild night out back in the day was 3 or 4 of them sharing a bottle of wine at a party.

One wet weeked, the lockin at the Moon lasted three days. '88?

Are you sure you don't mean nursing half a pint of orange squash all night.

[Oldmanmatt]

Actually, it's funny rememberlng those days as a starry eyed 17/18 year old hanger-on ( and occasionally allowed to belay my third rate immediate superiors).
Andy, you were one of the heroes. I'm just that little bit younger...

I'm not sure about that. I saw Andy and Basher in the Noah's Ark in Crookes wankered on lager and smelling of weed. Not saying they did it every night though

[Falling Down]

Andy very generously gave me my first pair of rock boots when I started climbing in '92/'93 after moving in next-door to Gav, Nic, Jase and Peggo. 

Hopefully Niall can get him on the phone for a Jamcrack episode?

Snake hipped mofo.

My then Mrs used to look forward to magazines arriving with Andy's lycra clad arse on the cover. He was by a rather large margin the best looking of the bunch though.

Did these ever get cross-posted from the other channel?

It was probably from rockarchivist.co.uk by Phil Kelly, but the interviews no longer appear to be hosted on the site (they are mentioned in this article and this thread).

Perhaps try contacting Phil Kelly to see where they are.

Just got my copy in the post, what a dude, the bells onsight necky or what, loved the crabs story that should go down in folklore, as well as the term Big Ron Pres Ups

[SA Chris]

Just got my copy too, well up for ploughing through it.

That heading is straight out of WordArt, class!

[remus]

Just getting stuck in to my copy as well. Amazing so far! Getting a blowjob while watching redhead make the FA of Atomic Finger Flake, what more could you want in a book?

[cofe]

We've stuck a few articles up on our blog if anyone's interested:

Jon interviewed Mark Leach about The Bells!

Andy P's Tremadog chapter from Extreme Rock.

Jerry reminiscing about climbing and hanging out with Andy.

More to come...

Just stumbled upon this thread and would like to thank all for the humerous and complimentary comments - thanks.
Its rather humbling having been away from the scene for a quarter of a century so yeah, cheers, defo.
Andy.
