For some reason, I have a fair few records by The Three Johns. Side project of John Langford (of the Mekons) with John Hyatt and John Brennan (real name Patrick iirc).
Track Three is titled Demon Drink and it always reminds me of a gig at Liverpool Uni. It was a John Peel Roadshow, The Three Johns were headlining and Benny Profane were supporting, John Peel was DJing after the Three Johns and yours truly was his warm up man.
John Hyatt who is now a professor of art and technology (textiles I think) was at the time an alcholic of some immense proportions. He's cleaned up now but how he's alive and a reknowned professor is beyond logic.
Anyway, the band turn up for the soundcheck and John Hyatt just falls asleep behind the speakers, absolutely wrecked, he doesn't soundcheck. Benny profane soundcheck, sleeps through the lot. The other two Johns say to leave him, they'll wake him up if they need to, they just left him. He's threre through me DJing, Benny Prohane onstage, Me Djong again and just before Peel is about to start then introduce the band, they wake him up.
If you didn't know, you'd have no clue, the performance was great.
Anyway, I'm playing The Three Johns - The World By Storm for a bit of nostalgia
