How did you hear of The Vapors first?
Saw them supporting the Jam and was hooked
When did you first see them live?
It must have been supporting the Jam at the Rainbow but Parkinson’s has played havoc with my memory since then and I have no recollection of it. I do remember seeing them on my 17th birthday in Watford. I went with my friend Melissa and met Sarah Kent who, along with Julie, became my Vapors gig buddies. Also remember seeing them at the marquee and meeting scowling Mike Philpott and the lovely Elaine Bevan!

New Clear Days, Magnets Together or Wasp in a Jar?
Oh my, seriously, I can’t pick. Although my current ear worm is ‘Hit the Ground Running’.
Favourite Vapors track?
‘I Don’t Remember’ really resonates with me because it describes my relationship with Parkinson’s. I also have a soft spot for ’King L’ because of the line ‘we love Suzanne’ 😂😂😂
Best time you’ve seen them?
Portmeirion 2024
Best Vapors moment/memory?
Presenting Dave with his 70th birthday cake at The Holroyd

Hopes for the future of the band?
Many more years of wonderful music and a Portmeirion weekend every year.
Other favourite bands?
The Jam, The Pogues, Amy Winehouse, Blur & Pulp
