Badly Drawn Boy in conversation and song at Metronome
On a Sunday night (or bath night, as it was called in 1970s Glasgow), it was a time for celebration and remembrance, as two of novelist Nick Hornby's favourite "sad bastard" acts, Belle and Sebastian and Badly Drawn Boy, delivered an all-time-desert-island Top 5 concert to an Adelaide audience
Some gigs turned into bizarre three-hour marathons as Gough several sheets to the wind would stop songs as soon as they started and do press-ups on stage.
