Jah Wobble: 'We were 4 normal teens but shaped history of UK punk music'

Jah Wobble, former bassist of the influential punk band Public Image Ltd, reflects on his early life in east London and his evolving relationship with The Beatles. As a child, he found their music unexciting compared to the enthusiasm of adults around him. However, his perspective shifted in 1967 when he encountered the band's experimental work, particularly 'Strawberry Fields,' which introduced him to psychedelic elements. Now 67, Wobble has collaborated with his two sons on an album titled 'Mystic Liverpool: The Beatles’ Psychedelic Psongbook,' blending Eastern sounds with Beatles' tracks. The project incorporates Chinese and Mongolian instruments, reimagining classic songs with a global influence. Wobble's journey from a working-class background to punk icon highlights his transformation through music and cultural exploration.
