An era-defining drummer in the post-punk scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Budgie talks to musician and psychotherapist Anouchka Grose about his life in music and his relationship with the charismatic but volatile Siouxsie Sioux – from loss, grief, surviving abuse and recovery from addictions to playing with Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Creatures, The Slits, Big in Japan, and Spitfire Boys... and becoming perhaps the most famous drummer to come out of Liverpool after Ringo Starr.

Peter Edward Clarke (born in 1957), known professionally as Budgie, is an English drummer best known for his work in Siouxsie and the Banshees. He is the co-founder of the Creatures and was the drummer of the Slits in 1979, as well as working with other musicians, including John Cale.
