My memory of Frank Sidebottom (RIP)
I found Frank backstage at last year’s Bizarre Ball and I gave him a few beers out of Electric Eel Shock’s rider. We sat drinking a beer together watching the various performers prepare or recover: naked people getting into rubber, a woman from the Circus of Horrors getting out of a bottle and a psycho cyborg having her tits sewn back up. It was quite a scene. Frank turned and said:
“Of course I have seen it all before… although not necessarily quite so much all at the same time.”
He was a lovely man and a one off.
