"The return of the acid prankster. Glen Sweeney tells the Third Ear Band story". A 1990 Nigel Cross interview.


One of the best interview ever made it's that Nigel Cross had with Glen Sweeney for the English fanzine called "Unhinged". Published in Spring 1990, now out of print, it's a very long, deep excursion through the TEB glorious epic, with some interesting revelations about facts and people involved (& funny anedocts), that inspired my little book on the band titled "Necromancers of the drifting West", printed in 1997.
(Just a recommendation: not all the things Glen says are true or totally true, but it's all part of the TEB Glorious Epic...)

  1. Classic stuff - many, many thanks for this Luca. There appears to a chunk missing in the overall chronology of Glen's inspired narrative - between Francesca Annis and Ron Kort. I'm assuming that's missing in the original too?
