XTC’s Andy Partridge – the Patreon questions I

by Mark Fisher | Posted on

In the first of a special two-part edition of What Do You Call That Noise? The XTC Podcast, supporters on Patreon ask questions they had always wanted Andy Partridge to answer that he never gets asked.

The challenge was to come up with questions that would surprise, delight and generally intrigue the XTC frontman. They do not disappoint!

The results take us on a fascinating journey from the Beatles to broccoli, from Fireball XL5 to The Last Balloon – and beyond.

Music from Terry Arnett and Planet Sunday.
