Was it true that people chanting ‘get off’ and walking round with Levine Must go banners?
There was pockets of people who started a Levine Must Go campaign. T-shirts etc. it was just part of it, it wasn’t venomous, it really wasn’t. Maybe they thought it was, but for us the publicity was fantastic. Levine was the type of personality they could attack. I wasn’t the type of person they could attack. Levine was the perfect target, a big balloon who you can fire arrows at. I love this guy to bits, but he’s a self-publicist and he puts himself up there and people will shoot. For me, it was great fun. How long did the all-dayers go on for? They dragged on in some form or other till ’77 or ’78. Even beyond that under a different guise, when I hooked up with John Grant but then it was starting to turn to the black scene. Then that was knocked on the head because Anderton, the Chief of Police was not into blacks congregating… How did that change musically? The Mecca had run its course. It was the end of an era. Where do you go from here? So, I’d been to Birmingham and Wolverhampton
