The birth of XTC with Steve Warren

From handing a tape to John Peel to encouraging Colin Moulding to write songs, Steve Warren is a key part of the XTC story. In a fascinating interview, he recalls befriending Andy Partridge as a child, working as a roadie for the Helium Kidz and touring the world with XTC.

Also in this episode, Gaz Barrett describes how he commissioned a mural of English Settlement in the centre of Swindon.
