I sat next to him on the train from St Pancras to Margate about ten years ago.
I was itching to say 'Hey, you're Billy Childish' to him.
But he was busy reading, so I left it.
The first time I met Billy Childish he threatened to punch me over a wall. I just laughed. My late brother - and I still have no idea how this most implausible of things came to pass - financed Billy Childish and his first band The Pop Rivets first album out of my bruv's backdated dole payments. Even more curious, bruv professed to hate Billy Childish and indeed heckled him and his band at every opportunity. Tho I guess there was a deeper bromance going on in there somewhere. Strange daze indeed
