“The first image I have of Damon is him onstage, at a school assembly: he was singing ‘Gee, Officer Krupke’ from West Side Story and I was really impressed by his presence. He was very extroverted, unlike me, who is very shy. [...] [The second image is] A puny and irritating show-off who told me my shoes were crap while showing me his. They were the shoes the mods were wearing and I couldn’t afford them. In those days I was playing the drums and the saxophone, and Damon was playing the violin and the piano. We would write songs… We were well aware of being the school weirdos… Damon has always been like an older brother to me, even if he says that he relied on me. He was very protective of me… But he never liked my girlfriends, which was a bit annoying. [he laughs] I have never known anyone like Damon, as bright and insecure. And yet, within Blur, I was convinced I was the black sheep… I’ve had episodes of rage, of non-communication… There was the Damon, Dave and Alex trio. And I felt isolated. But it’s all in the past.”

“I feel like I’ve known Graham forever. I was 12 when we met at school, in Colchester. The other kids were crazy about football, whereas Graham and I shared a passion for clothes and music. We listened to The Beatles, The Jam, Madness… We instantly became friends.”
