That resulted in their collaborative single Don’t Lose Touch. Thereafter, the Pistols’ bassist produced a demo Alluri wrote. “It was received well and my then manager Stephen Budd tweeted a link to Glen, who shared the song,” he adds. This encouraged Alluri to cover the song in Telugu and English. I was tired and not too keen, so I played an acoustic version of the Sex Pistols’ Anarchy in the UK to scare him away.” On the contrary, the tot started dancing. Alluri tells us, “I was practising for my show at the Transmusicales in France and my sister asked me to play for her son. When indie singer, songwriter and composer Shriram Alluri played the guitar to entertain his two-year-old nephew in November last year, little did he know that one thing would lead to another and he would land a gig with Glen Matlock, the bassist and member from the original line-up of the UK punk rock band the Sex Pistols, who’s now a singer songwriter.
