The Nazareth Interview
Rahul Shrivastava, bbc.co.uk, 2004
I'M AT THE Newcastle Arena. The band are 40 minutes late. I was told to be there at 7.30. This is how I like it. Very rock 'n' roll. On stage, support band Diamond Dogs are doing their best to warm up the crowd, but the sound is letting them down.
