EP07: Glen Matlock
Glen Matlock is one of Martyn’s oldest friends in the music industry, having connected on the Iggy Pop European tour in 1979, when The Human League were plying support. His good-humour and kind mentorship of the young THL at that time helped us get through an extraordinary period. He is best known for being the bass guitarist in the original line-up of the punk rock band the Sex Pistols. He is credited as a co-author on 10 of the 12 songs on Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, although he had left the band before the album's recording sessions commenced. Since leaving the Sex Pistols in 1977, he has performed with several other bands, as well presented his own work. After the death of his replacement in the Sex Pistols, Sid Vicious, Matlock has resumed bass guitar duties for subsequent Sex Pistols reunions, including the 1996 Filthy Lucre Tour Recently Glen has performed with B.E.F as a guest singer, and Martyn and he have become close buddies once more. He knows everyone! Enjoy…
