Voiv Stanshall used to have a house in Beach Avenue and his parents lived in Cliffsea Grove. He had his hair styled at a local barber who described him to a friend as "one of the most unpleasant person" who he had ever met. One of my big regrets is not having spoken to him when I passed him in the Broadway one day in the 1970s. He was an absolute hero of mine and at uni I converted a lot of friends to the Bonzos and told then that Viv was from Leigh on Sea. They didn't believe me. That's the trouble with genius and he was a genius, they can be "difficult" as they inhabit a different planet than us mere mortals.
I love Alison and she has a strong individual voice. But it's the Bonzos for me. Complete genius.
