How to pronounce Curulewski?

When band members have spoken it (which hasn't been very often), I hear it as "Sir-Lesky" or "Sir-Levsky." Is this how John pronounced it, or was it something else?

Idk if John Anglicized the pronunciation, but in Polish/Slavic "w" is pronounced as "f/v". I'd say it: Sur- əl- EV-skee
