Frank Sidebottom and Steph Elmore enjoy an al fresco mealPosted on Tue, Jul 27, 2010
Would you like to go for lunch at a top hotel for your interview Frank?
“I’d rather go for a picnic.”
What would you like me to bring?
“I love Lucozade, flying saucers. Oh, and Twiglets.”
So I spent my evening shopping for food for a man with papier-mâché head not knowing if he was ever really going to eat it.
Laden with my goodies I met with the man who has appeared on more than 500 television shows, radio, concerts, comic strips, does cover versions of everything from Elvis to the Arctic Monkeys, supported Bros at Wembley, loves felt tip pens, has a mosaic of himself alongside Morrissey and Karl Marx outside Affleck’s Palace and put Timperley on the map. Although don’t tell Frank’s mum he is in showbusiness – she doesn’t know. This is why he will never do an interview for Woman’s Realm.
Where’s your sidekick, Little Frank? “Don’t be stupid he’s made out of cardboard, he can’t speak back.”
Silly me, I wouldn’t want to interview someone made out of paper, would I?
