History- Interview with Damien Maddison www.myspace.com/maddisonuk
Do you remember how many Manchester Busker events you took part in?
"There were definitely 6 Busker events that I can remember appearing at (and then all the various other FunBox gigs too) but this figure may be higher owing to my shambolic powers of recall, what degree of medicinal intoxication I may have been under at the time, etc etc ... "
Do you have any particular lasting memories of any McrBskr occasions?
"My lasting memories of playing the Busker gigs are that I got to appear on the same bill as my heroes, George Borowski, Tony Auton and Keni"
What do you think made McrBskr so special?
"Every performer left his/her ego at the stage door"
A considerable number of the original performers have gone on to form successful creative careers, and in some cases have gone to the top echelons of their profession. Any comments on this?
"Perhaps Steve Coogan will pay me for his half of the taxi fare now!!"
Describe Chris Coupe in a sentence.
"One of the good guys ... but don't get talking to him on the telephone if you've got a table reservation for dinner!!"
