1) King Rocker Now TV
Thanks for watching our documentary KING ROCKER on Sky Arts if you did, and spreading the word, and crowd-funding it, if you did.
Our labour of love really landed. I arrogantly think it knocks most rockumentaries into a cocked hat and will cheer you up no end in the awful times.
“I loved every minute” – Ben Dowell, The Times
★★★★ Financial Times
★★★★ Chortle
“One of the best music documentaries of all time” – The Quietus
“The new gold standard for rockumentaries” – The Scotsman
Anyway, it appears you can now watch it, ad-free, on NOW TV if you have that;

2) COMIN’ OVER HERE 12” AND COMPETITION
An actual physical 12” EP of Asian Dub Foundation(feat. Stewart Lee)‘s Brexit day number 1 Comin’ Over Here came out on March 26th and can be ordered here…
Bandcamp | X Ray Production
The remixes are of other bits of the Paul Nuttalls routine and work great.
You can d/l them too I think. I can’t believe how well the ADF’s made this work. I was their mere tool.
Also, Asian Dub Foundation announce the “Singalong with Stewart” competition where you can do your own rant over “Comin Over Here” and help keep the anti-xenophobia vibe that fuelled the Brexit No.1 campaign alive.
Record yourself ranting over the “Singalong Version” of “Comin Over Here” (available on all formats of the Comin’ Over Here EP) and send us a video or audio to singalongwithstew@gmail.com by May 1st.
The best ones will win a vinyl copy of our album “Access Denied” signed by us and Stewart Lee and we will post them to our social media platforms.
For a demonstration, check out this video.
3) TEN BOB/USE LOAF 7”
‘Ten Bob Each Way’ / ‘Use Your Loaf’ is a limited 7” single, featuring a brand-new Nightingales recording, their first since recording their ‘Four Against Fate’ album.
B-sided with Stewart Lee and Nick Pynn covering the band’s second single, ‘Use Your Loaf’, a track that was for a mooted Nightingales tribute album. ‘Ten Bob Each Way’ / ‘Use Your Loaf’ will be released 15th May on Fire Records/King Rocker Records.

4) OLD TUNES FRESH TAKES
I didn’t really understand what podcasts were until I went on loads this year to promote KING ROCKER.
I didn’t know how good they could be and how much work some people put into them. This one is especially good.
It is about folk songs and they asked me to talk about one. If you listen to it now you might be able to participate in the second part, whatever your ability.

5) LIVE DATES NEWS
It looks like all the SNOWFLAKE/TORNADO tour dates outstanding from 2020 will be shifted into 2022, starting in Jan, and below are the ones we know about so far. Thanks for bearing through all this with patience.
Local venues will contact you if they haven’t already. All the warm-up club dates you may have bought tickets for have been slotted in to Nov and Dec, covid willing, and venues will contact ticket holders. Please do not hassle venues about all this. They will contact you. We will get there!

6) TO VAC OR NOT TO VAC
The gvt may not impose vaccine passporting, as their will be questions about who is responsible if you can’t get into your local pub/club/theatre/brothel.
I would be delighted if, if you are coming to see me, you could do your best to get vaccinated, irrespective of what the gvt or the venue insist upon.
I doubt that my snowflake audience will contain many people who deny the existence of Covid or believe the vaccine is George Soros or Bill Gates trying to put tiny Transformer robots into your blood.
But I and my team will be interacting with over 150 000 people on the next leg of the tour, and I would like to minimise our risk, and the risk to my audience, so meet me half way.
I will be selling and signing stuff as usual, I hope, but I won’t be shaking hands to thank you all this time around, and will probably be positioned behind some kind of screen like William Shatner in Airplane 2. Sad.
7) MEDIA GARAGE SALE
My trusted sales partner Media Garage has compacted all my available stand-up dvds into one convenient on-line marketplace, with most available to d/load too.
Remember, if you buy here we will pay tax on these purchases, and help with British schools and hospitals, whereas many major physical media suppliers and streaming services have found ways to avoid declaring their profits, as have NETFLIX, the utter bastards.
AMERICANS – stop moaning about not being able to see me and visit MEDIA GARAGE!

8) Podcasts
To try and promote King Rocker I have been pimping myself about on every Podcast going, alone or with dir M Cumming (Brass Eye, Toast), saying the same things in the same room in the same clothes to all different people, all of whom were very kind.
I don’t know what a podcast is really but I think you go on the internet and click on something.
As my grandfather once said, in 1983, “Do you know, in America, there are shops that only sell Kentucky Fried Chicken?” I enjoyed being on the internet with all these people enormously, but will put some blue water between me and the next wedge.
David Baddiel told me it was good to be on the internet, though. These are available..
SOHO RADIO 1981-1991 LIVE MUSIC MEMORIES SHOW

SPIT OR SWALLOW

ALEXEI SAYLE’S UNFIT FOR PURPOSE
A rambling chat in which I fail to promote King Rocker at the expense of a Marxist analysis of culture and history from the inventor of Alternative Comedy ™ ®
KERMODE ON FILM
Dir Michael Cumming and I discuss King Rocker with Britain’s top film guru and skiffle enthusiast, who has been very supportive of the no-budget project.
BACKLISTED
Andy Miller and John Michinson’s long running and much loved books podcast. I discuss the waspish poet and novelist Rosemary Tonks with them, Nicky Birch and Jennifer Hodgson.
This is a marvellous ongoing Podcast which is unashamedly civilised in an unenlightened era, and this episode is full of great writing, batshit radiophonic music and clever women.
OWEN JONES
North London echo chamber fun sure to irk people of all political persuasions with the forensically-minded folk devil for the far right and snowflake do-gooder Owen Jones, and me, talking about King Rocker and more general stuff. His current run of ‘casts has some great guests.
GINGERBEARDMARK
Informed Wolverhampton-based comedy and music enthusiast of uncommon warmth and knowledge talks to me about KING ROCKER and what the Gray Pays ‘n’ Bacon are like at the Great Western pub.
ADAM BUXTON PODCAST
I asked Adam if I could go on this massively popular podcast and he said yes which was very kind of him. It was fun hearing his Mark E Smith story from the horse’s mouth and he asked me hard questions of the type I usually avoid.
A DRINK WITH THE IDLER
I answer questions from various utterly delightful members of the Idler’s thoughtful middle class readership from their wine and book filled homes.
They are the real stars here! You will emerge from watching this in love with at least one of them.
THE LAST LINE
In this episode of The Last Line, James talks to comedian Stewart Lee about his new film King Rocker, a documentary about Robert Lloyd, lead singer of 70’s post-punk band The Nightingales.
During their conversation they discuss the new film, its central protagonist Robert Lloyd, stand up comedy, Stewart’s propensity to defend stand up comedians against the views of the general public and his reluctance to participate in podcast interviews.
There’s an interview with Michael Cumming on this podcast too, link below.
OUT TO LUNCH WITH JAY RAYNER
Sometime in March you will be able to hear me eat a really lovely Sri Lankan mutton curry from the Kolama restaurant, Soho, with bon viveur jazz pianist Jay Rayner. (I see how this works now!)
This is the most showbiz thing I have ever done, and I am glad it was with jazzy Jay Rayner.
HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD
with post-mod post-man, old school Labour face, and former near pop-soul star, Alan Johnson.
THE C86 SHOW
KING ROCKER viewed through an astringent ‘80s rock filter, w me and dir Michael Cumming
ROBIN INCE’S COSMIC SHAMBLES
This is a new series of docu-chats on different esoteric subjects.
You have to pay for them because they are finished pieces of work not just some fuckers talking or wandering about.
I have appeared on three of them – on Hawkwind, Penda’s Fen and John Carpenter’s Apocalypse Trilogy.
THE MRS BARBARA NICE AND FRIENDS PODCAST
I am winsomely x-examined by the Midland comedy legend and former Everready singer
ADRIAN GOLDBERG ON BRUM RADIO
Dir Michael Cumming and I discuss King Rocker with the Nightingales’ contemporary Adrian Goldberg.
9) MINIATURES 40th
I appear on a 40th anniversary celebration of Morgan Fisher’s various artists album Miniatures (ask your dad, kids), available now.

10) WEIRD WALK
I have written up a weird walk around the landscape of Lamorna, in Cornwall, for the latest issue of the weird walking magazine, Weird Walk.
