Johnny Lamb is 30 Pounds of Bone. There is something linking Johnny Lamb and Dan though I only just realised it. Like Dan, Johnny is steeped in folk, though justly wary of the word.
I met him when he interviewed me for a thesis on location in song and itinerancy. If you want to interview me, say it’s for academic purposes. It flatters the shit out of me.
Johnny lives down in the south west. He drinks in a pub that gives him a tab and he has his own tankard. He sits by the sea and records trawler ships and records songs in the same key as them.
Johnny says his song is a reaction to East 17s ‘Stay Another Day’.
