Ed Bicknell Interview

[Chris W]

I didn’t understand what you meant at first by saying they don’t socialise. I now do as you meant Mark and Ed never socialised with each other.

No idea what they did until after the 1992 tour. They may have socialised a lot.
I'm saying they don't socialise now.

Amazing how much discussion one tiny remark can generate.

In the context of the anecdote it makes no sense to suddenly imply that they don't socialise together, he was talking about the miniature of whisky.

And we know that MK does indeed drink (don't know about Ed).

So I can only assume he was meaning that he and MK don't drink whisky.

[Matchstickman]

This discussion is hilarious!

As he is talking about the whiskey, the point on not drinking (whiskey? in the daytime? in the office?) would seem to underline how surprising it was that Mark then gulped it down.

How I'd love to read Ed's account of the DS story. It'd be a tad more entertaining than Illsley's LOL

[quizzaciously]

Is there such a thing as a non-drinking Brit? So far I'm yet to meet one, and judging by the map of pubs in the UK... How dare you say you don't drink? I'm confused.

You are all overthinking about a simple comment made to remark that receiving a call from Chet Atkins was very surprising...

Judging by all his interviews and the way he tells the stories, yes, way far entertaining!

But the main thing is he not only has things to say, obviously about DS and MK, but also about many of the best people from the rock history, this man brought Deep Purple or Jimi Hendrix to play to Hull university and others in the area if I recall well!

I haven't had a drink in 2024 if that helps

At least if Mark reads this forum, he will get a good laugh!

Exactly. Wonder why he hasn't done it actually.

Here's another story. Just unbelievably funny:

[Knut]

Imaginary interview:

"MK and Ed don't speak to each other"

AMIT forum:

"Oh, that just means they do karaoke and rave parties together".

C'mon. Not everyone is Guy Fletcher

What I found more interesting than the non-socializing story (which is pretty obvious once you've heard "Let's See You") is that you're calling Paul Crockford a "(sort of) manager", Chris. Why that?

You are all doing a big snow ball fron nothing.

They were client and customer during the DS days, maybe they got to be kind of friends, but once they broke their proffesional relationship, they don't socialize, it's pretty obvious.

Maybe that sort of manager about Crockford is because he was a promoter that worked a lot with DS and assisted Bicknell a lot too, actually he was the manager for the NHB.
