Toronto-lifestyle magazine, Now Toronto, has uploaded audio of a telephone interview with Jimi, recorded May 15th (the anniversary of Rob Gretton’s death).
“The man was basically a philanthropist,” remembers bassist Jimi Goodwin. “He bankrolled us and gave us a second chance as Doves. Without him, I don’t know where we’d be.”
Click here to hear the interview. Adjust your speakers beforehand, as there’s no volume control, only a small play/pause icon.
Pop Noir played Temptation in tribute to Rob Gretton. Thanks to badlydrawnwoman for providing the info.
