Splash Stories hosts Ben Steadman & Diamond Dave had the pleasure to talk with John Wardle aka Jah Wobble ahead of his tour. Wobble was the original bass player in Public Image Ltd (PiL) and his Invaders of the Heart charted with the inimitable and wonderful Sinead O'Connor with Visions of You .

Wobble acquired his stage name through the drunken, mumbled version of his name by Sid Vicious. Bass player singer songwriter pundit and writer. His autobiography, Memoirs of a Geezer, was published in 2009. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Memoirs-Geezer-Music-Mayhem-Life/dp/1846687209

Wobble is talking East End of London Life, Bluebeat, PiL, Roots, Art, India Upanishads, Buddhism and Raggas..

I had the personal pleasure to work with him on the album Shout At The Devil on 30 Hertz Records & produced by Nick Page a.k.a Count Dubulah (R.I.P) of Transglobal Underground whilst managing the artists producers Temple of Sound.

Not to be missed. So memorable and quintessentially Wobble

Ben Steadman & Diamond Dave caught up with Colin Doran lead singer of post hardcore / emo / Hampshire rockers Hundred Reasons.

The hard working band called it quits after six top-40 hit singles and two top-20 hit albums and sign off with a banging headline show at The Royal Albert Hall on May 7 2025.

Colin talks from the heart & tells it like it is. “We have seen bands run themselves into the ground and it’s not something we’ve ever felt okay with…”

Their last headliner show promises to be a fitting send off and last hurrah for fans and band alike since their formation 26 years ago back in 1999.

Check it out as Colin celebrates his Splash Story with us and all of you.
