00:00Lovely to meet you. How are you doing? Having a nice evening?
00:04Well, I just got here. You just got here?
00:06I had my dinner before I came out. What do you have for dinner?
00:09My dinner for dinner? I have Marks and Sparks, beef stew with dumplings and some spring greens on the side.
00:17Spring greens?
00:18And I've still got a bit left over for when I get home. The canapé is no good.
00:22But here's a question. Are you using bread to dip up your gravy?
00:25No, I'm trying to cut down the bread a little bit.
00:28Andre? I think you're looking great.
00:30I've got to wash your cholesterol, thank you.
00:32So, who are you most looking forward to seeing tonight?
00:34Well, I don't really know what's going on.
00:37I used to go to the Blitz quite a bit.
00:44I was telling Cathy from America that the reason it was at the Blitz was because there used to be a restaurant called The Blitz.
00:53And what they did, they served pie and mash and stuff like that and sung songs from the Second World War.
00:59And they took the place over. And Rusty was the drummer of my band The Rich Kids.
01:04And they did a side project with Midge and Steve Strange.
01:08And you can't have it especially for them.
01:10And so it was born?
01:11Yeah, it split my band up, I think.
01:14Oh, well, that's not a second.
01:17London through and through.
01:19So, what would you say to an 18-year-old who's coming to this exhibition and hearing about the Blitz Club for the first time?
01:28What would you want them to know about it?
01:31Well, I think it's one of the main focal points in this constant reinvention that goes on with the music scene and the arts world and fashion design in London.
01:41And this was the epicentre of all the hipsters and grooving at that time.
01:46Do you think you carry that fashion with you today?
