| | My name’s ‘endrix Dead Boy. First name’s ‘endrix - Mr Dead Boy.
Unfortunately IÂ’m stuck with the name now. I had it changed by deed pole in 1980. It was just to do with the music businessÂ… unusual name.

I’m a front man, sir, a vocalist. My band is called Sic Boy Federation. Distasteful. Latin. It’s mainly punk and a cross with metal. Sort of ‘ardcore-ish punk. Aggressive. Shocking.
IÂ’ve been doing it since 1977. WeÂ’re well known, put it that way, throughout the world, yes. Played all over Europe and not-what. Got 5 albums out. WeÂ’ve got a new CD weÂ’re working on at the moment - 19 tracks - Sicboy 2022.
Basically we clean various public houses, throughout Nottingham, windows, maintenance, painting and decorating, cellar clearance, warehouse clearance, house clearance, general maintenance to public houses, night clubs.
 | | Hendrix Dead Boy, 45, enjoys a Guinness in the Royal Children |
We recycle aluminium cans, and obviously we put so much money towards charity. That gives us a good name, gets us in the paper. It was Children in Need we did one for last year.
We do the festivals, various big shows, bike showsÂ… itÂ’s all recycled - obviously aluminium - mainly Red Stripe, Budweiser cans. Not the Steel ones because theyÂ’re not worth any money.
The tram system - itÂ’s going to cause some problems. When it comes itÂ’ll cause us some problems with parking.
IÂ’ve lived in Nottingham all my life, mad man. Whatever you want itÂ’s within a mile radius. IÂ’ve not seen Robin Hood yet. | | | |
