‘Things May Happen’ is being released as a single. What inspired you to write that song?

Slimy – The extraordinary lightness of being … just the path and what’s on it.Marty – This is Toad’s one and it’s a cracker.

Johnny turned 70 last year, celebrating in style with a gig at London’s 229 Venue. Some people have said it was the best Moped gig ever. How was it from your point of view?

Slimy – I thought Johnny’s birthday gig was a rip-roaring success … I enjoyed it … The next Moped gig will be the best Moped gig ever and the one after that …Marty – It’s not the best gig as far as how we performed. But as far as the turn out and the size of the crowd that came along to celebrate Johnny’s Birthday it was the best vibe of all the gigs for certain for me.

This year marks the 50th year of Johnny Moped. What have been the high (and low) points for the band in the last five decades?

Slimy – The constitution of these thoroughbred punk rockers is testimony to getting up and rocking out … Johnny is not stopping he’s class.

Marty – I’ve only been in the band since 2017 and before that was the driver and shit carrier and before that a fan and also the band are my mates. So not one low point for me at all.

You’ll be back out on the road this summer. Any message for fans who’ll be coming to see you?

Slimy – You better believe it! You enjoyed that you bums or I’ll kill you! Tomcats!

Marty –&nbsp;Be afraid. Be very afraid.
