Sex Pistols guitarist Glen Matlock loves M&S beef stew and dumplings
Ever wondered what a rock star has for dinner? Well, we’ve got the answer!
Last night’s Blitz Club exhibition opening was a who’s who of 80s pop culture.
Red Carpet guests included Spandau Ballet, Boy George and other notable musicians.
Here at London World, we were lucky enough to work the red carpet and have a catch-up with some of these 80s icons - including Sex Pistol bass guitarist Glen Matlock.
Aside from being possibly the loveliest celeb to chat to, Glen was exceptionally humble about his lauded career.
We caught him as he arrived and discovered something quite interesting about the punk star’s dinner plans. Forget Michelin star dining, Glen says you can’t beat an M&S beef stew.
“I’ve just got here,” he said. “I had my dinner before I left. I had ‘Marks and Sparks’ beef stew with dumplings and some spring greens on the side. And I’ve still got a bit left over for when I get home.”
The guitarist did confirm he is not using bread to mop up his gravy as he’s trying to ‘cut back a bit.’
But of course, we didn’t just talk about food and drink, when you’ve got a legendary guitarist in front of you, of course you have to ask about y’know being famous.
Of the Blitz Club, he said: “I used to go to the Blitz quite a bit. It started as a restaurant that served pie and mash and stuff like that, and sung songs from WWII, and they took the place over, and Rusty (Egan) was the drummer in my band, The Rich Kids, and they were the side project of Mitch and Steve Strange.”
“The Blitz Club split my band up really,” he joked.
“I think the Blitz Club was one of the main focal points of reinvention that goes along with the music scene and the art and fashion world. We had to have a place for all the hipsters and groovers of that time.”
When asked if he carries the Blitz kid fashion with him today. He replied: “That isn’t for me to say, what do you reckon?’ as I pointed out his patterned cravat - a stylish and subtle nod to back in the day.
