Earl is a guitarist best known for his collaborations with David Bowie, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Robert Smith. He has also worked with other artists including John Waite, Tim Curry and the New York Dolls. He is currently in The International Swingers with Clem Burke & Glen Matlock...
...and that is how we managed to get an interview with him. As lockdown hit and commitments cancelled, Earl was left a stranded guest, resident in Glen's house in London.
We chatted too Earl about playing with David Bowie, then not playing with David Bowie and then playing with David Bowie again. We talked about playing on the biggest stages, guitar straps and painting Glen's living room.
