WHAT’S THE STORY ABOUT BEING CHUCKED OUT OF GERMANY?

Well, like I was saying before, we lived at the back of this cinema, by the bog; it was like a broom cupboard, with a Push-Bar exit to get out. I think so anyway – this was twenty years ago, and I’m trying to remember what the door looked like! You know I never realised it was twenty years ago, I’m still talking about it as if it was yesterday!

Anyway, we were moving from this club (The Kaiserkeller) to a better engagement (The Top Ten)and Pete Best and myself were getting all our gear together, and one of us had a contraceptive – whatever you want to call it! so just for a laugh we pinned it up on the wall as a goodbye gesture. It was just a cement wall without paint or wallpaper, and I think I set fire to it, and it left a little black mark. But the fella screamed ‘Police!’ He didn’t want us to go to this new club, which would take his business away, so he thought ‘This is a good excuse.’ It was really just- a harmless thing, but he managed to get us in nick. We were just going along the road, and the police pulled over…. ‘Hey! come viz us!’

WAS THAT THE FIRST TIME YOU WERE NICKED OVER THERE?

Actually, it was the only time until Japan a few years ago, when I had a longer stay in there. And more fun! But anyway, the police dragged us to an official building, where we hung round for hours, and eventually a fella came up and said ‘Come with us, we’re taking you back to the club.’ And no sooner said than done we were on the plane back to England.
