## Resource

Graham Parker didn’t get a record deal until he was 24, having worked in a rubber glove factory and picked tomatoes in Guernsey before that. Fifty years on, he’s still telling those stories the way he always has, with honesty – straight and funny. Recorded live at The Cat Club on 26 March 2026, Jason Barnard talks with Parker about Nick Lowe producing Howlin’ Wind , the ruined tape that forced a week-long rework of Stick to Me , and Bob Dylan telling him after a set that he loved ‘Don’t Ask Me Questions.’ In this extensive interview, Parker also talks about breaking up the Rumour, the accidental reunion decades later, and being getting cast in Judd Apatow’s This Is 40 .
