#9: Paul Vary (Older Than Dirt, Sa Causa)

Paul grew up in the South of England where he watched his older
brother start a punk band in 1977. Subsequently he played in a
couple of bands, and he talks about how him leaving his then band
Older Than Dirt somehow led him to leave Britain and move to
Spain. I was introduced to him a few years ago by a shared friend
in Mallorca and we ended up playing together for two years in Sa
Causa, a band that broke up recently after finishing the mixing
on our first and last album, due to musical differences. We try
to find closure during this conversation and mend our broken band
hearts. So this is quite a typical BALG episode about universal
travelling and band breakups, this time however featuring some
first hand eyewitness reports on the UK punk scene from the late
70s to the early 90s.
