"I'm a double fish" Lee Scratch Perry talks to Clare Crane about everything and anything

A brand new Music and Film Festival called Sound/Screen London offers music documentaries with a host of artist and director Q&A's and live music performances.

The festival runs until 28th March at some of London's most iconic venues; including KOKO, the 100 Club, Genesis and the Regent Street Cinema.

The opening night saw the premiere of 'Uncaged' the story of Brix Smith and The Extricated at the 100 Club, with the band live featuring Smith and fellow ex-Fall members Paul & Stephen Hanley.

There will also be films shown about the Slits, Sleaford Mods and Dave and Ray Davies during the festival.

Plus, fresh from celebrating his 82nd Birthday, Lee Scratch Perry makes a rare London live appearance alongside the screening of his trailblazing documentary 'Lee Scratch Perry's Vision of Paradise'. The film is being shown on the big screen at KOKO with a live performance from Lee, a full band and some DJ's to further the night's entertainment.

Clare Crane spoke to Lee on the phone at his house in Switzerland and this is what happened. Are you ready?
