SWINDON music legend (butchers pronounce it leg-end, he tells
us) Andy Partridge kindly volunteered to answer a range of questions on music-related topics from our readers.
He first rose to fame with XTC in 1977 at the tip of the punk explosion and is still a highly respected member of the music community.
Everyone will remember hits such as Sgt Rock (Is Going To Help Me), and Senses Working Overtime and now, after 30 years, XTC and Andy have more than 30 albums to their name.
As well as being a singer, songwriter and guitarist, Andy has been a record producer, run his own label, been a broadcaster on radio, appeared on numerous TV programmes and written songs for other
artists, as well as penning film and TV music.
So scroll through the questions and answers at your leisure - you never know, you might learn something!

Q. Hi, Andy, long-time fan and forum lurker Kendley here, saying hello from America.
There are a few hard-to-get songs and rumoured unreleased snippets that didn’t make it into the Fuzzy Warbles series, and I’m sure we fans have been nagging you for them.
Is there any chance of a Fuzzy Warbles post script, perhaps a slightly grubby, steamed-off-the-envelope and twice-licked canceled postcard stamp from Swindon?
Waiting at my mailbox…
Kendley
A. Ah! Mr. Kendley,come in, sit down,take off your lobster suit,tell me all about it.
Yes there are further warbles lurking like poopey coloured catfish in the stagnant ponds of my cassettes and DATs and I have thought of disturbing the waters to bring them up and slap them online as downloads.
Trouble is they're either very rough quality recordings or rotten songs and I would feel a bit of a swizzler hawking them around.But hey,I hear you say,that hasn't stopped you in the past.
Yeah,I may sell them from the APE site.
Stay tuned.
