One of these biggest things since the Beatles played in Galway one night and I was supposed to go in and interview them and I'm sitting at home and I was watching something on the telly.

It was also a really awful night.

It was lashing rain.

You know the way you're watching the watch?

I should be going, I should be going.

And eventually he said to me, ah, look, for heaven's sake, I mean, what's this band?

Blue Zoo or You Who or what's your man's name?

Gonzo?

Ah, no, no, no.

Forget it, mate.

But Chris, the following day, Chris, of course, rang me and I had ruined his life, essentially, and I hadn't shown up.

And this kid was waiting for me for some time afterwards and whatever.

And I eventually said to him, Chris, Chris, Chris, I said, have they a record?

And he said, yeah, I can't remember.

I think it was 11 o'clock TikTok or something like that.

And I said, send me the record and I'll review it and I'll look after it.

And I actually, Chris, don't send me the record.

I says, I just review it and give it a good review anyway.

Because you felt so guilty.

I felt guilty.
