John Doran meets Aidan Moffat of Arab Strap and L.Pierre, for the fifth chapter of The British Masters, our interview series featuring the most influential and colourful figures from British popular music history.
In Johns words, Moffat is “as much a poet as a singer. His lyrics come from a hard bitten Scottish literary tradition that includes writers such as James Kelman and Alan Warner. His words are as funny as they are shocking, as they are moving”.
