Davy Henderson (ex-Fire Engines/Win/Sexual Objects/Nectarine No. 9) – 'I just wish we'd told some people to f*** off'

<p>From sonic adventurers Fire Engines and Win to industry-baiters Nectarine No. 9 and The Sexual Objects, Davy Henderson remains one of Scotland’s greatest cult heroes. Yet the story of the Edinburgh-born raconteur – who grew up living next door to the Bay City Rollers and BCR-nearly rans Bilbo Baggins in Clermiston – has never been fully told. Until now. </p><p>Davy's also back with a new band, Bubbles, featuring guitarist-about-town Douglas MacIntyre and former Orange Juice and Josef K legend Malcolm (now Dr) Ross – so it's the perfect time to hear how it all began.</p><p>This interview with Davy was originally conducted for a magazine feature but there was so much additional fascinating insight into the integral struggles within the music industry that I thought it would be great to include the interview in its entirety raw and (largely) unedited - with a bunch of noisy seagulls making an appearance at one pivotal moment. (Ah the joys of podcasting.) The interview was supposed to last 20 minutes but overran – by more than an hour. With Davy’s permission, I’ve split it into two parts.</p><p>This is Pt 1.</p><p>Don't forget you can sign up for the Scotpop newsletter on ⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://scotpop.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> - featuring extended shownotes, behind the scenes info, Scottish music news stories and the best new bands.</p><p>For the latest news on the podcast and music updates, make sure to follow Scotpop on:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/allanjglen/?hl=e" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/allan-glen-1228496b/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1615843776347565" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href=" https://x.com/allanglen1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>If you have any queries about sponsorship opportunities, you can email me at scotpoppodcast@gmail.com. </p>
