Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Legs Larry Smith Interview
In this episode of the Now Spinning Magazine Podcast, I talk to Legs Larry Smith — drummer, tap dancer, artist and one of the key figures behind the wonderfully eccentric world of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.Larry shares stories about the band’s art-school origins, recording classics like “Jazz: Delicious Hot, Disgusting Cold” and “The Intro and the Outro,” learning to tap dance in a London tube station, appearing in The Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour, working on Do Not Adjust Your Set, and touring with Elton John and Eric Clapton. He also reflects on the superb Still Barking Madfish box set, his ongoing art, and why the Bonzos’ legacy still matters so much today.A warm, funny and revealing conversation with one of British music’s true originals.
