Scared To Dance must be the most criminally under-rated album from the whole punk scene. For me, it's comfortably in my Top 20 favourite albums of all time. Richard Jobson is a legend, as was the late, great Stuart Adamson - a punk/post-punk songwriting partnership up there with the likes of Strummer/Jones. I saw them back in 1978 when they toured as support for The Stranglers and they absolutely knocked it out of the park - still up there for me as one of the best gigs I've ever seen. PS - great interview! 👍

Fantastic interview so much I never knew about Richard . Very interesting and intelligent great story teller. Paul John loved how you just let him speak no interruptions well done and thank you 🍀

What a great interview. Thankyou. First saw The Skids wi ma mate Boab at Perth City Hall in ohhhh, musta been 1979.

Brilliant, great interview. What he says about speaking to the fans after the gig is true, Stuart Adamson used to come out to Dalkeith for a beer with us back in the day 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

He is such a legend who gave us a lot of his time that day. We only stopped because his band were setting up for a rehearsal in the next room. PJD

I knew Richard a bit in London in 1980/81 latter days of the Skids. He hasn't really changed. Only 19/20 at the time he was living the dream of being a pop star Top of the Pops guy but was really himself. He always felt like a guy that could handle himself if needed to. My judgement is I have positive memories of him, so he left an impression on me. i wish him well.

Just been to see the skids in Liverpool. They were fantastic. Jobson was bouncing around the stage like he was 40 years ago! ❤

Can you believe it, this bloke was 17 when he recorded Scared to Dance, absolutely unbelievable! I'll say that again - absolutely unbelievable!!

Hello!Hello!land, sea and sky Hello!Hello! boy, man and soldier Hello!Hello! deceived and then punctured Hello!Hello! long may they die Great interview Richard,loved it.

Thank you Richard, One decre is my favorite !

Quality listen and hopefully there is a Part 2. Richard speaks passionately and you just know he is a sound, caring guy. Lived in Dusseldorf and there was/is a punk scene. St Pauli made to feel v welcome and reciprocated at Millerntor. 👍

It's not often that Alex Harvey gets a name drop, so hat doffed to that. I spent a couple of years working at Pitreavie Castle, my uncle worked doon the pits (under the watter ie Forth) and I spent a year living in High Valleyfield before moving to my own place in Rosyth. Long long ago, but this interview reminds me of the good times had.

Great stuff, cool guy 🍀🏴‍☠️

Great interview mate! Richard is such an engaging, intelligent and interesting person. Could listen to him till the cows come home 👍

I lived in Düsseldorf for five years I've got a house in Dortmund (and live there now), one of my old friends is an enthusiastic St Pauli fan - and I visited him in Hamburg when Celtic ladies played a pre-season match. Got steaming, fainted, smashed my head in, woke up on a strange couch (the St Pauli fans carried me home) and off we went again. Ach yes great times.

Jobbo, you absolute legend. You won't remember, but I saw Skids in Gt Yarmouth in 79, aged 15, went backstage afterwards and you, Stuart and the guys were really cool with me and my mates (gave us a tin of Newcastle Brown and a pork pie from your rider!). You'd ripped your trousers on stage, and asked me if I wanted them (original Johnson's, Kings Rd). Made my year mate, will never forget it. Thanks and atb

Just listened to this interview again and well worth it PJD...big Jobson such an intelligent and empathetic guy: " have never listened to Sir Roderick Stewart and never will" 😂😂 Intae the Valley 😀

Great interview absolute gent 👏

Met Richard a few times before and after gigs always happy to talk and sign memorabilia from many years ago, excellent interview

Great interview loved the way Richard was allowed to tell his story Never realised he was so into football One my favourite bands the Skids just loved the music very underrated in my opinion Went to see Big Country on their first tour and they came down to talk to us great guys pity i was drunk but we asked them to do another gig in our area and they did!!

loved this big skids and celtic fan thanks for sharing

Jesus what a fantastic interview. Richard you could listen to him all day. Being a Celtic and Fc St Pauli fan I’m on the same wavelength I worked in Germany early 90s and agree with Leipzig mentality of it also Düsseldorf brilliant city to visit

Thanks for everything Richard.

Don't agree with his politics, but Jobson's is an interesting fella. Nice interview, you let him talk which is the art of good interviewing.

Did you/ can you ask him about the Armoury Show. A band with so much to offer

This was a fascinating interview, very interesting, watched it on my hour break, I've observed watching old interview shows, the best one's are when the interviewer occasionally asks a question and just let's the person being interviewed go! That's a talent you have, keep it up, thanks to you both for doing it :)

Great interview., I love the way Richard takes every opportunity to turn the conversation to football.

Brilliant interview, Jobbers is a very impressive bloke, met him in the Clydesdale Bank in Piccadilly waiting for a teller, blethered about football and the Skids (surprise, surprise!), he's certainly outlasted the Clydesdale...lol!!!!

Richard nothing but respect mate. The Skids the best punk band ever.

A fantastic interview, loved his take on football culture in Germany.

Seen them in Melbourne a few months ago great night

please get another interview with him, that was too short,😊

Great interview, interesting guy

Great interview.

From the door opening at the stables (if you were lucky )when Jobbo the boy cut an imposing character to an articulate super funny funny man ,,Still one of the great frontman and sings better than ever,,Proud he,s one of ours !

Great interview

Really interesting interview. Saw Skids at Belahouston academy. Met Richard once at Street Level many years ago. Given me a new lease of life!

Bellahouston is my old school! Never knew the Skids played there, must have been after my time, but saw them loads at Bungalow Bar etc just before Into The Valley kicked off. Then later when I had a minor music career of my own would run into Jobbo or Kerr oot The Minds in London. Lovely men both but Richard was the most impressive, old head on young shoulders.

Always followed The Skids being a Charlton fan. Found Dobbo's dance a bit knackering to be fair. HH.

interesting tale of Richards life, enjoyed his recent Barnsley gig, as Grimsby was in lock down

The man is a giant.

Armoury show !!

I would love to see pictures of that time when he was in Berlin, and went to the St Pauli game

Great guy, great band.

Does anyone remember the ads in the music papers that sold Richard Jobson trousers?

Dunfermline? I thought he was from Ballingry.😃

Charles had a job in a factory..........

Boy he can talk , interviewer didnt really say a lot lol

Green Bay packers if you want to talk about a team that’s owned by the fans in the USA

I've got a lot of time for Richard, first saw the Skids at the Apollo in 77 but disappointed in his naive, divisive political views: left is good/ right is evil/ white supremacists??

I've always thought the Skids were right-wing supporters and now he says he is left-wing...

Trying to be something hes not..hes from ballingary in fife

I love how Artistes never grow up and live an idealistic life where they never grow out of socialism like most adults do.😂
