Splash Stories hosts Ben Steadman & Diamond Dave had the pleasure to talk with John Wardle aka Jah Wobble ahead of his tour. Wobble was the original bass player in Public Image Ltd (PiL) and his Invaders of the Heart charted with the inimitable and wonderful Sinead O'Connor with Visions of You .

Wobble acquired his stage name through the drunken, mumbled version of his name by Sid Vicious. Bass player singer songwriter pundit and writer. His autobiography, Memoirs of a Geezer, was published in 2009. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Memoirs-Geezer-Music-Mayhem-Life/dp/1846687209

Wobble is talking East End of London Life, Bluebeat, PiL, Roots, Art, India Upanishads, Buddhism and Raggas..

I had the personal pleasure to work with him on the album Shout At The Devil on 30 Hertz Records & produced by Nick Page a.k.a Count Dubulah (R.I.P) of Transglobal Underground whilst managing the artists producers Temple of Sound.

Not to be missed. So memorable and quintessentially Wobble

It was such a pleasure. This is a rollicking rocket of a show ...

Splash Stories welcomes vocalist and art historian David McAlmont for our June edition.

David left the UK in 1978 when his family moved to Guyana in South America skipping the whole punk rock scene completely in the process before returning to read performing arts at Middlesex Polytechnic.

His music career kicked off when he signed a publishing contract with Chrysalis Music in 1992 and gained recognition with London band Thieves. He then went solo securing a record deal with Virgin's Hut Records in 1994 and It was at this time that McAlmont performed live at The Splash Club to critical acclaim. Music Newspaper Melody Maker journalist Taylor Parkes commented at the time : "One day he will open his mouth and a cathedral will fall out."

We caught up with David to celebrate his past work with Bernard Butler and to discuss his new album Twilight with one of Splash Stories previous guests Hifi Sean. This summer sees David also playing Wall to Wall Bowie live on Aug 10 at Ronnie Scott's London.

Ben Steadman & Diamond Dave caught up with Colin Doran lead singer of post hardcore / emo / Hampshire rockers Hundred Reasons.

The hard working band called it quits after six top-40 hit singles and two top-20 hit albums and sign off with a banging headline show at The Royal Albert Hall on May 7 2025.

Colin talks from the heart & tells it like it is. “We have seen bands run themselves into the ground and it’s not something we’ve ever felt okay with…”

Their last headliner show promises to be a fitting send off and last hurrah for fans and band alike since their formation 26 years ago back in 1999.

Check it out as Colin celebrates his Splash Story with us and all of you.

Splash Stories had a super charged chat with The Futureheads vocalist Barry Hyde from his pub/music venue The Peacock, that he opened with Dan Donnelly (Celtic Social Club/The Wonder Stuff/The Levellers) in Sunderland's City centre

Futureheads - Took their name from the Flaming Lips album Hit to Death in the Future Head shot to critical acclaim in 2004

Their sound is a brash and brave mix of post-punk and three/four part harmonies their memorable cover of Kate Bush’s ‘Hounds of Love’ is superbly crafted.Their sound embraces stop-start dynamics in the rhythmic ‘Decent Days and Nights’, punky abrasion on songs like ‘The Beginning of the Twist’ and tight harmonies which they later took to the max on their entirely acapella fifth album Rant.

2 decades later 2025 sees the band tour their greatest hits album released on Cherry Red Records. Includes THE BEGINNING OF THE TWIST / HOUNDS OF LOVE/DECENT DAYS AND NIGHTS /MEANTIME & more
