Episode 3: Manchester Apollo brings back memories. Aged 16, Simon and John Squire used to come to the back stage area to help push the boxes in for The Clash. The pair ended up dropping out of college to follow The Clash around on tour! The ultimate rock ‘n’ roll education!
The Apollo back stage is next to the Apsley Cottage. Si recalls actor Ray Winston, in his unmistakable Cockney voice, dragging him off for a pint! Good times 🙂
