I finally got my interview with Dale Grundle from The Sleeping Years. He was over in Belfast for a support slot with The Bower Birds and so he visited Studio 8 en route.

He's a chaming, literate chap from Coleraine who can't quite figure how his debut single with The Catchers, 'Cotton Dress' became a cult hit in Europe in 1994. But it did and it made a large impression on his life. That's the weird thing about rock and roll. Your intense juvenilia may cast an awesome shadow over the rest of your days.
