This is how thieves can swipe your bag without you noticing. I lost my passport and my devices, so couldn't fly home. Later I'll share what happened next, including how I tracked down some of my possessions, how you remotely wipe your devices, how I got an emergency travel document, and how amazingly kind people were to me. Please share this video, and you might save someone else from going through the same thing. Thanks x #robbery #mugging #barcelona

Just before Johnnie died I made a short film 'The Kitchen Garden'. My first. Very happily he saw it. Though he didn't know about the accolades it won. Now I am proud to share it... The Kitchen Garden youtu.be/rYAp2rPJ_6w?si… via @YouTube @tikaramon @piphaywood @sprigsco

Around the 25th anniversary release of the album So, Peter was interviewed by DJ Johnnie Walker for his BBC Radio 2 programme 'Long Players' which was broadcast on 2 October, 2012. There are some good clips from the interview in the link below, which are worth a listen - hopefully you can all access - including their discussion about Don't Give Up, falling asleep during the making of the This Is the Picture video and what it's like to get locked out of your own gig! audioboom.com/channels/59257…
