Saw him at Glastonbury in 2015, he was brilliant. Didn't really know much about him before that, one of the lads I was with recommended we see him. Glad I did. Laying back in a tent with a beer while he was on stage for an hour. Absolutely brilliant, and a memory I'll definitely keep!
 
Skinniest man I’ve ever seen. Walked up stairs behind him at a film and q&a in Nottingham once.

I’m sure I saw him perform as support to Joe Strummer, what a gig! Need to check on that to be sure.

“I’ll tell you now and I’ll tell you firmly, I don’t ever wanna go to Burnley…”
 
I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
Breathing in your dust
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
If you like your coffee hot
Let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots
I wanna be yours

I wanna be your raincoat
For those frequent rainy days
I wanna be your dreamboat
When you want to sail away
Let me be your teddy bear
Take me with you anywhere
I don’t care
I wanna be yours

I wanna be your electric meter
I will not run out
I wanna be the electric heater
You’ll get cold without
I wanna be your setting lotion
Hold your hair in deep devotion
Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean
That’s how deep is my devotion

i change my view between two points when i hear this;

Is it JCC's love plea to Nico?

or

is it a declaration of his love affair with Smak ! ?
