**And I'm known as the Grandfather of Punk now. I even had the Sex Pistols as a support band when they were just starting out. I'd known Malcolm McLaren for years because he used to make my Teddy Boy suits before he got into punk. He and Vivienne Westwood both made my stage clothes.

UT: They had a Teddy Boy shop, right?

Sutch: Right, called Let It Rock. They were very arty and very wild, so we suited each other. They had a stand at this '72 show and Johnny Rotten told me that he was selling my t-shirts and my badges on that stall - "You buy 'em or I'll punch you in the face!" You know his attitude! - and I think Sid Vicious was there as well.

They were just ordinary guys then, just a bit wild, and Malcolm put 'em in all the t-shirts and slit 'em all up and created the whole punk thing. When they first wanted to get round the college circuit they asked if they could be my support band.

I did about five gigs with them as my support band and in the end they'd start smashing up the PA - putting the mics through the speakers 'cos the crowd was all booing 'em and hissing 'em - so they went berserk. And someone said to me, "I don't know what you're laughing at - that's your PA!"

They gone through half a PA that night and I slung 'em off the tour. They didn't have no money so I never got a penny from them.

UT: What did you think of their music?

Sutch: It was very wild and very back to street level. It was very different, the fact that they had a go - two fingers up to authority. It was very crude and very basic. **
