Can't wait for this!
🙏
Can;t wait!
Random Jon Poole, Sing to God (the greatest album ever made), FZ, plus his hat? I'm in!
I've been waiting for this video like a child waiting for Santa Claus. Finally it's here!
Cheers Andy for arranging this, Jon is such an interesting bloke
Yaaay!!!
Groovy discussion.
Excellent chat. Thanks both. My completely evidence-free fan theory about StG is that it’s a tribute to Frank Zappa (God/Dog).
Great one! Can't wait for pt2…
Is this the beginning of a possible start of a build up to a resergance of Jon Poole?
This was great, looking forward to the rest.
IIRC there are sequenced drums on all but four songs on On Land And In The Sea (those being Fast Robert, Mare's Nest, Buds And Spawn and the mighty Everso Closely Guarded Line, so it's definitely not a case of only doing the "easy" ones! More down to budget I expect.) The programming is very good though, imagine doing all those tempo shifts on 1989 sequencers.
Great interview Andy
The reminiscing about influences, made me think that there must be all these musicians everywhere who may perceive that their large array of disparate influences are probably singular to themselves, but then you hear conversations like this and think…Huh !!! …these guys were into the same stuff as me ??? ( like it shouldn’t be possible lol).
This has happened to me before on some of your vids but tonight it was doubled up on, with the two of you at it lol
Hello everyone, Willie from The Dowling Poole send me to place the following link:

(Show must go on)
It was fun listening to you both, looking forward to Pt 2

Thanks for releasing this interview! Jon seems like a very nice chap, and likely very cool to hang out with.
Some shocking facts in here as well (drugs and drum machine), but it doesn't ruin the album.
Brilliant, I met Jon once and he was such a lovely bloke. Fantastic musician and all round good guy
I'm getting the feel this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship…
(from which we could all get great conversations about all kinds of wonderful stuff – nerds' only of course – but that's what this channel's for 😊)
Cardiacs are in the fine tradition of suburban English surrealness alongside Frank SidebottomThe Freshies and Graham Fellows.
Nice talk.
Glad to see your wife let you out of the cellar and can enjoy a bit of sunshine.
What an interesting interview. Never thought Sing To Gods drums were programmed. Thought it was Tiny Bob Leith all the way.
Jon Poole is amazing. The guitar solo in Fiery Gun Hand is easily one of the greatest ever recorded.
Absolutely brilliant.
