In-depth exclusive interviews with Strawberry Switchblade, their producers, managers and video director.
Some of these are pretty long (especially the Rose and Jill ones, they talked for four hours each!). If you’re new to this section, it’s probably best to start with the Edited Composite Interviews, which draws highlights from all the interviews.
Alternatively, the Interviews By Topic takes all the interviews and splices them together so it deals with one subject at a time.
Most of these interviews were conducted a very long time ago – bear in mind that those involved may express opinions they no longer hold.
