Speaker 3: actually exist?

31
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: So how old were you when you came upon that?

32
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: That was a mistake by a record company on a

33
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: record label when I was round about nineteen. Really, I've

34
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: just kept ever since. I've always joked to everybody that

35
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: every contract I've ever signed is actually illegal. So yeah, no,

36
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: my name is Ivy. I'm a proper Welsh.

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: So all these years we've known.

38
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: You, you've been telling you a lie.

39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: My god, I'm a complete fraud.

40
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely sounds like one of those hips. B is like

41
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: an I P A an IVA.

42
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: So on your credit cards and things, do you have

43
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: your actual name?

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: Yep?

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: And what's the number? So forty seven this must have happened,

46
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: you know, in your early days then, and forty seven

47
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: years later, here you are still being Ivor. How wonderful

48
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: to still be playing to audiences who are clamoring to

49
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: hear more.

50
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 3: Incredible, great fun. Yeah, and I've got a new it's

51
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: not quite new anyway, I've got a sort of new

52
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: guitar rig that I've been working on and I'm very excited.

53
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: So at the moment, I've got a duplicate rigging my garage,

54
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: giving my neighbors help.

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: You're like a teenager, that's it. But when you because

56
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: guitar nerds like Keith Richards.

57
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 4: Someone once said to me, if you ever get in

58
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 4: a conversation about Keith Richards, just talked to him about guitars,

59
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: and you'll get him back on track.

60
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: Are you like that?

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 3: Not that weird? But yeah, I've become a bit more

62
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 3: weird the older of gotten. I think. Is that got

63
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: to do with keep three suits as well. I mean,

64
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: you know, he's moved on a little bit, so.

65
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: I think he was weird a long.

66
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: He's got the longevity though, that's some good longevity.

67
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: Formaldehyde in his veins.

68
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: With you when you tour?

69
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: Is life different? Were you ever a crazy band?

70
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: Nah? Look, they did. The band did things that they

71
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: didn't tell me about. I think really early on, we're

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: in a hotel in New Zealand and they did actually

73
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: throw furniture out of the window, but nobody told me

74
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: about it until years later. Really yeah, yeah, yeah, I

75
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: think they didn't dare because I was pretty kind of conservative,

76
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: I guess. And then they said, you remember the hotel

77
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: in Dunedan you're not? Yeah, well we chucked a couple

78
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: of pieces of furniture out the window.

79
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: And you wonder why you can't get into New Zealand now.

80
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: Well, at one point we did have an all points

81
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: broadcast out on us with the police in New Zealand.

82
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: We couldn't actually find anywhere to stay. Is that we

83
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: were no, no something else?

84
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 1: Hang on, But at least you didn't have your real name.

85
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: You go, I don't know who that either, wouldn't be
