Yoga That’s What I Do Zen AF I Drink Tea and I Know Things Poster

We are here to discuss his 12th solo album, Stargazer, in which he pays homage to heroes such as Marc Bolan, Harry Nilsson, John Lennon, Curtis Mayfield, Anthony Newley and David Bowie in a series of self-penned songs. His voice is in fine nick and his impression of the soul and funk-infused mid-70s Bowie is rather wonderful. Pellow says he had a great time making the album, but what he really seems to want to talk about is the very thing he has spent decades avoiding – addiction. Whether it is because so many of these heroes also had addictions, or because his parents are no longer here (his mother died in 2003, his father a couple of years ago), or whether he simply feels the time is right, it is hard to say.

“February 14th, Valentine’s Day, 1998. Twenty-three years clean and serene,” he announces. Then he stops. He knows it is not as simple as that. “You can say 23 years sober, but really the person who has the longest clean time is whoever gets up earliest in the morning. If you get up at 7am and I get up at 7.30, you’ve got the longest clean time, because it is about the day. Do I think I’ll ever beat it? No, I will always acknowledge it. Every day is a school day with addiction.” Yoga That’s What I Do Zen AF I Drink Tea and I Know Things Poster

Pellow, 56, was born Mark McLachlan. He grew up in Clydebank, dossed around at school and left with no qualifications. He was doing work experience as a painter and decorator when he got together with school friends Tommy Cunningham, Graeme Clark and Neil Mitchell to form a punk covers band called Vortex Motion that subsequently became Wet Wet Wet, named after a line in the Scritti Politti song Gettin’ Havin’ & Holdin’. “Every other band seemed to have two repeated words – the The, Talk Talk, Duran Duran, so we thought we’d go one better.” He chose Marti Pellow as his stage name – Pellow was his mum’s surname and Marti seemed suitably showbiz. When his father, a builder, told him to get a proper job, he said it was pointless, because he was destined to be a huge pop star. There was simply no doubt in his mind, he says. And so it turned out.

The young Pellow was a music anorak – he loved indie bands and soul singers. But, to his surprise, Wet Wet Wet evolved from an unsuccessful punk covers band to chart-topping soft-rockers. Their first hit single, Wishing I Was Lucky, reached No 6 in 1987; a year later, they had their first No 1 with a cover of the Beatles’ With a Little Help From My Friends. When their cover of the Troggs’ 60s hit Love Is All Around topped the charts for the best part of four months, Pellow and the band became omnipresent, returning every week from Capri, where they were recording an album, to do Top of the Pops.
