Part 1: Join Tony and Shippa as Tony tries his hardest to keep Shippa calm, cool and collected…which is not an easy thing to do at the best of times, but even more difficult when today’s interview is with his musical influence, his muse, and the person who has convinced him that wearing tight trousers and singing falsetto is the only way to go!, Yes, they’re chatting to none other than Fischer-Z, aka John Watts. John tells us about his life, his music and his upcoming 50th Anniversary Australian Tour…as well as some naughty bits to spice things up a little. Shippa, you can come down from Cloud-9 now!
