Colin Greenwood on At the Rookery

A short clip from a conversation around How to Disappear. Martin Hayes, who grew up in East Clare with a father in a céilí band, explains how the Catholic Church banned house dances and moved them into parochial halls, where it took six or eight musicians to fill the room and a door could be charged. Someone on the panel says you can listen to photographs, where oil paintings are weirdly silent. Colin Greenwood answers with John Leckie, who made The Bends and once took John Lennon up on the roof of Abbey Road while he was tripping. Leckie's whole philosophy was that a record is a photograph.
