The Damned


What you see is what you get with The Damned and that's what i like about them . They just get up there and have fun without taking it all too serious . I can remember The Captain playing bass in the early days but now he's the guitarist and damn good too . Dave Valian and Sensible were taking the mickey out of the bassist all night , finding it amusing when he spoke . The chemistry appears to be there between all five members and they did several cutain calls , playing most of their better known songs . The Captain thought it fun to show us his belly at the end .

In 1999 i was on holiday in Fuertuventura , Captain Sensible was there , unassuming and down to earth . He even got up on karaoke singing Day Dream Believer , swinging the microphone around , the female host looking on terrified . It was all good fun in the hotel bar watching a fantastic magic show which even had The Captain gob-smacked for once . Didn't have the bottle to ask for his autograph - mainly cos he was on holiday and i suppose i didn't want to annoy him . I've lost the photos too ! Pity as it would have been interesting to see them now . There was another guitarist there too who'd played with The Banshees but they weren't speaking . How weird is that - on holiday in an obscure island and you bump into a few famous personalities .
