00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:29,420 me 45 00:04:29,420 --> 00:04:33,630 but most of the time was my mind's a 46 00:04:33,630 --> 00:04:37,080 blank and and did they say what had 47 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,880 caused them or was it a genetic problem 48 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,600 well those accommodation for one reason 49 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,760 and another you know I was drinking too 50 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,740 much and the drink with the at the time 51 00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:53,280 I was taking I was prescribed there was 52 00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:55,860 tension tablets that were a bit too 53 00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:58,650 strong for me in the combination cause 54 00:04:58,650 --> 00:04:59,520 the Cardiacs 55 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,210 nice I mean you funny enough you hadn't 56 00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:05,130 particularly had a drink problem earlier 57 00:05:05,130 --> 00:05:08,130 on in your career had you didn't drink 58 00:05:08,130 --> 00:05:09,780 excessively no no 59 00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:12,360 so was it after sweet split up them that 60 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,600 you yeah it was to do sweet really 61 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,630 because you know I got the branded I got 62 00:05:18,630 --> 00:05:22,560 labeled as being a drink'll towards the 63 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,390 latter end of sweet and that wasn't true 64 00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:26,760 and then at the time I left sweet I 65 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,900 wasn't drinking at all and the Preston 66 00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:34,830 general and people in general you know 67 00:05:34,830 --> 00:05:37,470 put it down to and I kept hearing in and 68 00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:40,530 I kept reading it know that I had been 69 00:05:40,530 --> 00:05:43,680 drinking and I was over the top with 70 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,630 drink I can't beat him joy and so you 71 00:05:48,630 --> 00:05:50,520 did with a vein I didn't intend to go 72 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,190 that far yes 73 00:05:53,190 --> 00:05:55,080 I mean how bad was it said about your 74 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,140 worse do you think well there was only 75 00:05:58,140 --> 00:06:01,080 for about two and a half years obviously 76 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,050 my metabolism wouldn't take it but it 77 00:06:04,050 --> 00:06:05,470 was bad 78 00:06:05,470 --> 00:06:07,770 what was your poison was it spirits all 79 00:06:07,770 --> 00:06:10,210 yes it was spirits because I'd never 80 00:06:10,210 --> 00:06:12,340 drunk space before you know I was ibly 81 00:06:12,340 --> 00:06:15,010 drinking on the odd occasion I had a 82 00:06:15,010 --> 00:06:19,270 drink it was it was only beer but the 83 00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:21,730 letter end yes it was good spirits and I 84 00:06:21,730 --> 00:06:25,420 was I was I suppose beginning to depend 85 00:06:25,420 --> 00:06:28,950 on it I was relying on it as a lifestyle 86 00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:33,460 and it was wrong you know in a way the 87 00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:37,030 Cartier's probably I think to say he did 88 00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:40,690 me a favor but so that wasn't an fr 89 00:06:40,690 --> 00:06:42,510 would have had the will bear that I 90 00:06:42,510 --> 00:06:45,520 because so that you stopped after the 91 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,200 eat had the heart well to the colleagues 92 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,990 I never touched a drop known and people 93 00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:51,820 say to me oh you must have heard you had 94 00:06:51,820 --> 00:06:54,580 tremendous willpower well it wasn't just 95 00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:57,850 real bear it was fear you know it was 96 00:06:57,850 --> 00:07:01,240 fright having known about the Cardiacs 97 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,540 and been told by specialists her pair 98 00:07:04,540 --> 00:07:07,270 there was and how lucky I was 99 00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:11,350 I think the fear of more than as much as 100 00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:14,140 the world stopped me from another Church 101 00:07:14,140 --> 00:07:17,350 in here again I mean we can't help 102 00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:19,210 noticing that you still shake slightly 103 00:07:19,210 --> 00:07:21,250 is that a result of no there isn't 104 00:07:21,250 --> 00:07:22,690 because people must think oh you know on 105 00:07:22,690 --> 00:07:24,880 the bottle again no no now that came 106 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,740 years later yeah that's what a lot of 107 00:07:26,740 --> 00:07:29,800 people think yeah but that came years 108 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,440 later I had a carry came about five or 109 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,050 six years ago when I was back after the 110 00:07:35,050 --> 00:07:37,210 car his playing football regularly for 111 00:07:37,210 --> 00:07:43,090 will showbiz teams and things and just I 112 00:07:43,090 --> 00:07:47,280 was working pretty you know solidly 113 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,320 about six years ago and I got pneumonia 114 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:56,230 and septicemia set into me as well and I 115 00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:58,919 got her heal from there you know I got 116 00:07:58,919 --> 00:08:03,330 the okay I was I went home from hospital 117 00:08:03,330 --> 00:08:06,580 and I noticed I was shaking like a 118 00:08:06,580 --> 00:08:09,340 quiver and it's been a problem ever 119 00:08:09,340 --> 00:08:11,140 since it doesn't stop you singing all 120 00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:11,770 right though does it 121 00:08:11,770 --> 00:08:16,150 I mean that's Dijkstra it does stage at 122 00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:19,040 all is that right you stop on stage that 123 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,830 I think it's worthy because I thought it 124 00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:24,110 was psychological as well but apparently 125 00:08:24,110 --> 00:08:27,110 it's not but it seems to be when I'm 126 00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:29,530 thinking about it it's worse or when I'm 127 00:08:29,530 --> 00:08:33,470 I noticed anybody's looking at me you 128 00:08:33,470 --> 00:08:36,590 know I'm aware and I seem to be more 129 00:08:36,590 --> 00:08:39,890 tensed up so it gets worse so I I 130 00:08:39,890 --> 00:08:43,159 thought you know part of it was 131 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:45,530 psychological yeah but apparently not so 132 00:08:45,530 --> 00:08:47,360 you got this new you got the new Reese's 133 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,760 all my whole thing I think right you got 134 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,290 the new reformed band and everything I'm 135 00:08:51,290 --> 00:08:54,260 the new CD yeah that's the currency hey 136 00:08:54,260 --> 00:08:57,860 that's the one is right can I ask you 137 00:08:57,860 --> 00:08:59,540 something this is this is sort of free 138 00:08:59,540 --> 00:09:01,490 it's quite a complicated family singing 139 00:09:01,490 --> 00:09:04,300 have isn't it cuz I mean you you grew up 140 00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:07,070 as the brother of Mark McManus who 141 00:09:07,070 --> 00:09:08,600 tragically died recently there's the 142 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,210 star of targeted and well yeah the 143 00:09:11,210 --> 00:09:13,580 long-term well I was fostered by the 144 00:09:13,580 --> 00:09:15,650 McManus family but you didn't know it 145 00:09:15,650 --> 00:09:17,120 when you were I didn't know anything 146 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,290 till I was 18 so to me the brothers the 147 00:09:21,290 --> 00:09:23,500 sisters the aunts the uncles you know 148 00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:26,930 everybody was family I didn't know 149 00:09:26,930 --> 00:09:29,420 anything until I was 18 because people 150 00:09:29,420 --> 00:09:31,370 say oh gosh you do look like there's a 151 00:09:31,370 --> 00:09:32,900 resemblance but you know 152 00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:35,740 whoa I suppose there is a possibility 153 00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:38,510 because I only have I

00:09:56,510 I don't know because nobody ever stopped 160 00:09:56,510 --> 00:09:59,690 to tell me nobody ever I went back after 161 00:09:59,690 --> 00:10:02,420 or what actually happened was I
