Christmas 1998
News of a story about JCC on an old BBC Christmas show... Story in first person as told to us by Tiv who had the following conversation with John recently...

  • “John told me about a BBC Choice show he did around Christmas 1998 - a football based thing hosted by Bob Mills. There were two teams representing Manchester United and Manchester City. John's team consisted of him, the Man United website guy and Ray Wilkins; their opponents were Eddie Large, the Man City website guy and Rodney Marsh. He said it was a great night and at one point he had to take a penalty against Peter Shilton. Needless to say he didn't score!”

JCC's Sugar Puffs Commercial.
As seen on UK television.
(Color, 40 secs, 3 Megs, Medium Res).




JCC reading Health Fanatic.
Probably at London's Vortex Club. Taken from the music video 'Urgh! A Music War.'

The Independent Newspaper radio ads currently airing in the UK... (Funny stuff!)

A copy of JCC's performance on the C.81 N.M.E. cassette that's long out of print. Hopefully they don't mind us using it here for you all to listen to. If they do, I will have to take it down. The introduction is hilarious, and goes like this... “Hi, Sheena Easton here. For a long time I've been a great fan of that marvellous poet, John Cooper Clarke. And I'm here with the massed John Cooper Clarke's of Carnaby Street to perform one of the great man's finest works, 'The Day My Pad went Mad'”. At which point he's joined by a lot of pissed scribes doing JCC impersonations. The second one is the intro and promo for the same C.81 tape.
