1984 radio interview

Listening to some old bootleg tapes over the weekend I came across a radio interview the band gave in 1984 circa 'Thieves Like Us' for (I think) Piccadilly Radio. Gillian never says a thing (you only know she's there 'cos she giggles a bit), Wilson is on hand as well and actually manages to take over the DJs job by hijacking the interview with his own questions. They all sound wildly camp with that hyper-nasal Manc drawl (not just Steve!), Hooky confesses to being "bored shitless" by Blue Monday (in 1984!) and Barney utters the classic line:

"I guess Ian would still be here if he wasn't dead"

Is this a well-known interview or do I have a semi-rare gem on my hands?

I've certainly never heard this one. Then again, I have never chronicled all the ones I have got (which may run into hundreds) as I unfortunately tend to remember what is said in them - none of them are ever much of a surprise when I stumble across them on the end of gigs.

Email me your postal address if you want a copy, Tim.

Speaking of rare radio interviews, does anyone else have a copy of the Century FM interview from April 2002 with Hooky being interviewed by Terry Christian? It's about 2 hours long, a really good interview with (obviously) a plethora of JD/NO tracks getting an airing. Also notable in that it might debunk Hooky's "legendary vault" myth, since he claims to be about to receive a copy of the Nottingham Blue Note gig (from '84ish) from some guy he met shortly before the interview... Sadly I only have a cassette copy, though I did get a mate to record it on MiniDisc for me (and somehow failed to get round to picking it up )

This all sounds marvellous. How can I get my hands on this stuff?
