Found! Comic guitar tapes from 80s 'Rock God' Kenny Star interview

Kenny Star. Martin Collins

You'd be forgiven for not knowing who Kenny Star is. But dig a little deeper in to the hallowed tomes of rock history and you'll discover a man who played second rhythm guitar in 80s not-so-super-group 'The Sideways Smilers'.

Like so many 'stars', Kenny's light burned brightly but briefly and after contracting a particularly nasty case of Peruvian jungle crabs from his four-time ex-wife, Casey James, Kenny was hospitalised from the groin down, and quickly drifted away in to further obscurity.

However, BCG has just un-earthed a 1986 interview from the hallowed pages of MNE Magazine's 'has-beens' special, and we've scanned it in just for you!
