Some things in life get forgoten, then get re-discovered, and seen in a new light.

I saw that programme on BBC4 last night as well, a brilliant hour of nostalgia.

Although I always thought Marc Almond was a bloody awfull singer, but his voice just seemed to suit those songs so well it made them classics. Is he still performing though, I know he had a motorcycle accident sometime back that almost killed him?

I saw him at Bestival a couple of years back, after the bike crash. I thought he was really good. Would be very happy to see him again.

There's room for all that on the smaller stages. I would love to see him in the Acoustic tent.

I like a lot of his stuff, but some of it is unbearable. He goes so up his own arse with self indulgence that it can only have the one outcome of putting people off.

I met him once when he signed one of his books for me. I asked him to write ' To Dean. From the real Mark Almond'. I asked him to write this because only the week before I had gone to see him dj with one of my brothers and a mate. I got so drunk that I refused to accept it was him doing the dj'ing and even offered my mate out for a fight outside over it (I was in a bad place at the time because I don't, as a habit, go offering to fight anyone, let alone a true friend). Fortunately my mate just burst out laughing and my brother walked off. Unfortunately, my brother later fell asleep at a table. When asked to leave the premesis for being asleep he told the bouncer to go fuck himself. The result of this was that several bouncers steamed in and dragged him down the stairs with his head hitting every step. My brother went to the police about the violence bestowed upon him. When the police got to the place the cctv tapes had accidently been wiped.

So the lesson today is don't tell bouncers to go fuck themselves. I know that you should not do this to policemen either, as when I tried it they locked me up for the night. I was startled in the morning to find that they are obliged to offer you tea and breakfast. That's my tax money being wasted on the likes of me that is. Shouldn't be allowed!

I saw him a couple of years ago in London - on his 50th birthday, I believe - and was really impressed. Would love to see him on the bill. Is he doing anything live soon though?

He's got an album based on London out currently, and joint venture featuring theatrical songs on hanging etc. Jolly stuff for an afternoon slot, maybe?
