I was waiting for somebody to turn up and it started raining. I remember I was sitting outside, nobody was there. I do remember before The Stables was The Stables it was the classic rehearsal room, called ‘Rehearsal Rehearsals’. You know, where they’re at the far end of the universe and there’s all these different kinds of creatures letting off steam. My mate lives in Camden and I always say to him that Camden always reminds me of that scene from Star Wars. Its funny, the very last time I played at The Electric Ballroom was the one-off gig I did with Sid Vicious (To have been at that gig!) and the Vicious White Kids. What are some of your memories of Camden? The Professionals couldn’t play for one reason or another and they asked “Do you want to do it?”. They’d been asked to do it because The Electric Ballroom have a new PA and they wanted a band to test it out. The real bottom line is I’m mates with this guy called Chris McCormack, who’s in The Professionals. Then we’re doing this gig on Thursday, so these are my two gigs this year apart from the tour I did earlier on, sort-of end of February when we did about 10 dates around the UK. It went down well, just me and my acoustic guitar. I was in Sicily on Friday night at an outdoor amphitheater on the slopes of Mount Etna, which was quite fantastic actually. Have to you managed to get out and perform at all since then? Then I was supposed to finish off mixing the new album I’ve made but that all bit the dust. Also, some UK shows which had been booked and were being added to.

Patrick’s day and doing a few solo shows around Canada and the States. I’m supposed to be in America for a big show with the Dropkick Murphys in Boston for St. I saw you had a few dates scheduled back in March, did they go ahead? I’m sat outside my local coffee place and my cappuccino is about to be delivered, so I’m all yours. Hi Glen, thanks for taking the time to chat. Glen Matlock at the Electric Ballroom 10 September 2020. I caught up with him on a sunny Tuesday morning to chat about the upcoming gig, his new, unreleased album and punk Brexiteers… In 2018, he released his first solo album ‘Good To Go’ and was expected to release a follow-up this year, until that dastardly virus scuppered all our plans. After forming a new wave, power pop band, Rich Kids with Midge Ure (yes, that Midge Ure of Ultravox), Glen went on to play all over the world sharing a stage with everyone from Iggy Pop to Primal Scream and sporting several of his own exciting line-ups along the way including The Philistines, Spectres and even a band with his Pistol’s successor, Sid Vicious called the Vicious White Kids. Co-author of the classic album, Never Mind the Bollocks, since his original departure from the Pistols in ’77 Glen, not content to remain ‘that guy from the Sex Pistols’, went on to diversify significantly and carve himself an enviable niche in the world of rock and pop music. This Thursday sees Glen Matlock, the original (and most current) bassist of punk legends, Sex Pistols, heading back to Camden to wake up the neighbours with a socially distanced live show at The Electric Ballroom. Now finally, with the relaxing of lockdown measures we’re seeing live music make a slow return to the venues which are the lifeblood of the Borough.
