Not owning any of their albums or ever seeing the band live. did Alannah Currie actually play a musical instrument apart from conspicuous nebulous percussion or was she a Linda McCartney type member of the band? […]

I had the misfortune of seeing Numan on the Warriors tour. Not only was he dressed like Mad Max Man at C&A but he looked and sounded bored and disinterested throughout, just going through the motions. The evening […]

I’ll never forget seeing a lone, dead, sad eyed prawn on the floor of Leeds fish market.

Back in the 90’s it was essential reading. Worth the price alone for the Tom Hibbert Who The Hell…? interviews. Brilliant, just brilliant. I don’t remember exactly when it all started to go wrong for me but I […]
