Maurice Smith interviews Them, including lead singer Van Morrison. The band had been recently been criticised for moving away from Northern Ireland and turning their backs on their fans. The group disputes the story.

The band formed in 1963 and the line-up consisted of, Van Morrison - vocals, Alan Henderson - bass, Billy Harrison - guitar, Jackie McAuley - organ, Patrick McAuley - drums. The band made two albums, Them (also known as The Angry Young Them) and Them Again, although neither charted in the UK. The band split in June 1966 following a tour of America. Van Morrison went on to have major success as a solo artist.
