The Sawdoctors 2000: The Music That Made Me. The Sawdoctors talk about T Rex, The Ramones, and their own classic songs such as N17.

This is the master tape of an interview I did with the Sawdoctors before a gig in 2000, or so. I always supported the band, even when it was "uncool" - what an idiotic phrase, and concept! - to do so, in The Irish Times. I went as far as saying that their songs such as N17 have great sociological and cultural importance, as opposed to a lot of the narcissistic, navel-gazing rock being made. at the time bu too many Irish bands.

I am not surprised that N17 is a hit again in 2021

Agree, or disagree, I don't mind. We had great craic during this interview and I am happy to make it public, uncut for the first time.
