London’s old school king and Gooner for life - SKORE TRC ! Listen up - hes got something to say . . .
1. Tell us who you are – what you do and how long you’ve been doing it ?
Hi. I write Skore, I write graffiti in and around London and I’ve been doing it now for 26 years
2. Favourite 3 colors?
Red, white and black, although if I ever had my own spray-can colour it would be ‘Skore turquoise blue buntlack’…….
3. Favourite 5 pieces of all time and why – (please include links)
If I picked my favourite 5 pieces they would all be from Subway Art… Mitch-Seen, Sab-Kaze, 2Many, Noc’s Style Wars, Duster-Lizzie
From Europe I guess it would be people like The Chrome Angelz, The London Giants, Tuf Arts, The Cold Crush Dukes…… as you can see I fell in love with Graffiti many years ago when iconic pieces meant something… Nowadays everytime I visit flickr I can see 20 amazing pieces but they are instantly forgotten and replaced by another 20…. The internet has made generic pieces that are painted for a web audience - in the old days pieces were timeless, and meant something within a localised scene. Droves of people would travel for miles to come and stare at these amazing works… Nowadays it’s often a collection of the latest fads, cliches, gimics and trends…
4. Favourite city and why ?
London. I never fall out of love for it and discover something new here every single day.
I also love New York for obvious reasons, and Bangkok because it is just so alive…… and so mental!
5. Favourite food / drink /?
Indian / Lager (Alpine from Sam Smiths is nice and cheap!)
6. Biggest vice ?
As a young-un it definitely used to be porn. Lol. But the internet has cured me of that one… Nowadays, I don’t really have one….. Maybe the constant urge to go travelling!
7. Biggest Gripe ?
Definitely having to be a jerk, and go to work.
8. Favourite shoe?
Shuto.
9. Favourite 5 tracks ?
Just off the top of my head without too much thought….
Madness - It must be love
The Verve - Lucky man
John Lennon - Working Class Hero
The Jam - English Rose
Kings of Leon - Be somebody….
10. Perfect day?
Somewhere in the sun with my girlfriend….
11. Whos the most famous person on your phone?
I’d hate to say. I guess there would be a few faces people would recognise from the UK music and graffiti worlds, both old and new….
12. 3 people you would love to have a pint with ?
David Icke, Patrick Vieira, my Dad…..
13. 3 things you cant live without . . .
Graffiti, my girlfriend, Arsenal football club
14. i am lucky/unlucky because . . .
In my life I have met some remarkable people, got myself in some of the maddest situations, been witness to some amazing times and been to some incredible places….. I’m not really a believer in luck… hard-work and determination breaks through all the bad times….
15. Last time you were caught doing something ?
Fare evasion, and then cautioned for losing my temper with the cxnt!
16. 5 things that are within arms reach of where you are right now?
cup of tea, telephone, sun newspaper, computer screen, work-colleagues…..
17. what would u grab from your burning house?
My girlfriend and my hard-disk……
18. 3 things to do before you die ?
Own a hot-tub, a camper van, and have a family……
19. earliest memory
Listening to nursery rimes at pre-school…
20. any upcoming projects- shouts – final words !
Projects: Building a patio in my garden and the infamous non-book. Lol
Shouts: To everyone I know, I would have still done it without you all but it wouldn’t have been such fun….
Final words: Rest in peace King Dare……. never forgotten
Getnloose would like to send or condolences to both friends and family of Sigi a.k.a Dare TWS

This came about from me trying to find the video of Barrymore on Celebrity Big Brother a few years ago when they made him smash eggs on his head. Some of the eggs were raw - some were boiled so it was like a russian roulette vibe. . . when he did get a result the look on his face as yolk ran down it was something i will never forget - it was like watching somebody crumbling before your eyes. . .why he went on the show I cant understand . . .its easy to work out whether his career is at the top,middle or bottom
