SUMMONER'S TALES...
"Punk was a real flag of convenience as far as I was concerned. And I went to a few gigs. I saw the Damned, I saw Eddie and the Hot Rods. I liked the energy. As far as the music went it was pretty unsophisticated, it wasn't anything that was going to challenge you musically. But certainly the energy was exciting and galvanising and so I sympathised with it in that sense."
