Not for the first time, 3 members of the band The Fall met for a pint on a Friday lunchtime in Manchester. What sets this one apart is that someone had the good grace to record it. Paul, Steve and Craig sit down to discus their time together in the Fall and mainly argue about who wrote what. Despite not remembering when or where anything was written, they all remember that they definitely wrote it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
