John Cooper Clarke Performs 'Martin Newell'

[DoWhatYouLove1]

JCC is the best poet on the globe, check out a similar Australian genre (not copy) Allan Dumbleton. Let me know what you think.

Martin Newell took his bands demo up to an AR guy in the early seventies. They brought along the wrong tape. It had The Beatles "Sgt Pepper" album on it!!!

The tears are rolling down my face, and I've a broarder smile than I've had for a long time. I've always loved Martin and JCC separately. John looking just the same as when I used to see him in the late 70's. Me, I look 30 years older.
