Q – I saw you at the shepherd’s bush empire a few years ago and you did an incredible cover of cher’s ‘believe’. did you ever perform it again? it was amazing as you bought the lyrics of a song that i’d previously dismissed out of hand to life.
A – The Negatives used to play that song, on occasion. We were not making any kind of joke – it is a great song. My favourite performance was in Portugal at a student festival. After the show we did a press conference with some students from the University paper. One earnest young man remarked ‘Lloyd, the Cher song, never again, please.’ I’m almost inclined to add a smiley face here…
