In this third in the series, I, Simon Nott talks to Tim Polecat about the early days of neo-rockabilly and psychobilly, the journey from Mill Hill via The Southgate Royalty to international stardom. Now before people start saying that Tim has nothing to do with psychobilly, this series isn't going to be all about psychobilly, it's an all encompassing umbrella title, besides, remember Scotty Robbins......
