trs Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Was only talking about him last night after seeing him in the film Control (biopic of joy divisions Ian Curtis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightonrover Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Have seen him doing his stuff many times over the years, most recently at Buxton Opera House with Frank Sidebottom and at the North Bar in Blackburn. A true genius of the spoken word and, fact fans, once the boyfriend of Nico from the Velvet Underground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecomebackid Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 As JCC himself used to put it. "...This is one for all you 'hipsters, flipsters and finger-poppin' daddies... ...knock me your lobes'..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Weaver Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Time to breathe fresh life into this one. I was watching TV the other night and happened to see the start of The Culture Show (don't make a habit of these things you understand ). Anyway there was a 10 minute piece about the Bard and what he's up to these days. Don't know how long this link will last, but there's a vid of him performing Beasley Boulevard - the modernised Beasley Street - here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McClarky Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I was due to see him supporting The Fall in October but he pulled out at the last minute, rumour was that his wife had left him. he is a comic genius though. Last time I saw him one of his jokes was as follows:- "How can you tell you're at a Burnley wedding?.......All the guests sit on the same side of the church......boom boom" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Maureen Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Seen him loads of times mainly opening for Joy Division and The Fall. The last time was 4 years ago in Islington.We bombarded him with shouts of "Hollands pies.Warburtons bread"Daft I know but Clark seemed to be amused. Evidently chicken town was used on the Sopranos a couple of years ago,great tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
