“Someone here at the Hobgoblins swears he works in Slix burger shop now, but I'm not sure about that.”

“Clarke. Geoff Barrow was in a popular Channel 4 TV series called 'This Life' in the 1990's. I can't believe you don't remember it, I think you must be kidding!?”

“I can confirm that he hasn't cheered up. He refused to even speak to us when we met him on Gloucester Road, he just flicked his hair and stormed off with his bag containing what looked like about 16 burgers. It deffo wasn't vinyl, maybe some chips though.”

“We were lucky enough to hear some of Geoff's stuff when he was rehearsing, it doesn't really fit with 2009 to be honest. It was good quality, but a bit like seeing the Quo with your dad.
I reckon he should travel a bit, some of the music they are producing in France is amazing... 15 years ahead of Geoff now I'm afraid.”
