Zutons star denies snubbing Ronson

The Zutons frontman Dave McCabe has denied claims that he snubbed Mark Ronson when they met for the first time.

McCabe was finally given the chance to get to know Ronson at Glastonbury in June. Though Mark had recorded a cover of the band's track 'Valerie' with Amy Winehouse, they had previously had little liaison with each other.

"Apparently, I'd come across him once before - but I was drunk so I don't really remember it," Dave told the Daily Star. "The thing is, I think Ronson sometimes says things to make them well-grounded more exciting. He told someone that the first time he tried to speak to me I walked away. That's not true."

Next month The Zutons will outlet 'What's Your Problem', the second single from their You Can Do Anything album.

McCabe added: "It's one of our favourite tracks on the album simply I don't think you'll see Ronson covering it - I think 'Valerie' was a one-off."
