British rock band Fischer-Z emerged onto the music scene in the late 1970s, spearheaded by the multifaceted talent of its frontman and founder, John Watts. Formed in 1976, the band quickly gained recognition for its thought-provoking lyrics and innovative musical style that seamlessly blended elements of new wave, punk, and art rock. Fischer-Z's early albums, such as "Word Salad" and "Going Deaf for a Living," showcased Watts' sharp observations on societal issues and his distinctive vocal delivery. The band's lineup has undergone changes over the years, but Watts has remained the driving force behind Fischer-Z, steering its evolution through various musical landscapes. With a career spanning several decades, Fischer-Z has maintained a loyal fan base and continues to captivate audiences with its intelligent and emotionally charged music.

Amongst the multiple stage personas of John Watts, singer, guitarist, and poet are himself - John Watts, his band Fischer-Z, The Cry, Paramusic and not forgetting J.M Watts. He makes a fascinating interview partner and talks about the events in his life which have formed him. ⁠

I highly recommend both interviews!⁠
