They can fork off! 🎃 -
Hopefully all those who hate the ticketing scams and booking fees will transfer to watching local bands. That said, we are doing a charity gig for free and Eventbrite keep £1.70 of the £7 ticket price… 🤔 I know they have to make a living, but…

Surely it should have been ‘Gillan’ and ‘Blackmore’ fighting? Of course, the irony is in the Friends bit!

I miss Top of the Pops. Really. -
Reissue priced at £40.99, yours (new, sealed) for £25 posted UK. Now £20 Now £15 OMD’s 1985 album Crush, will be reissued for its 40th anniversary in October. The band’s sixth album features the singles ‘So In Love,’ and ‘Secret’, with the former reaching the top 30 of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. The 2LP vinyl edition features seven unreleased tracks. Both formats include rare photos and comprehensive notes by journalist and author Jason Draper in conversation with Andy McCluskey. The 40th anniversary re-release of Crush has been a wonderful opportunity for us to re-assess the album. 1985 was a period of great intensity with constant touring and time pressure in the studio, but we created a powerful collection of songs and lyrical themes. In hindsight, we made a much better album than we knew at the time. Two hit singles ‘So in Love’ and ‘Secret’ remain live set constants to this day. ANDY MCCLUSKEY

Mike Campbell- Heartbreaker Acclaimed autobiography of Tom Petty’s right hand man. Why wait six months for the paperback? Perfect hardback copy. Cover price £25, yours for £18 posted UK. Now £16…Now £15 This is genuinely my favourite music biography of the past year. Though I will never feel the same about Tom Petty again… Bit of publishers blurb: When a chance encounter with a guidance counsellor inspired him to enrol in the University of Florida, Campbell - broke, with nowhere else to go and the Vietnam draft looming - moved into a rundown farmhouse in Gainesville, where he met a twenty-year-old Tom Petty. They were soon inseparable. Together they chased their shared dream all the way to Los Angeles, where Campbell would meet his destiny, and the love of his life, Marcie. It was an at-times gruelling dream come true that took Campbell from the very bottom to the absolute top, where Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers would remain for decades, creating an astonishing body of work. Brilliant, soft-spoken and intensely private, Campbell opens up within these pages for the first time, revealing himself to be an astute observer of triumphs, tragedies and absurdities alike, with a songwriter's eye for the telling detail and a voice as direct and unpretentious as his music. Heartbreaker is Mike Campbell's heartfelt portrait of one throwaway kid's lifesaving love of music and the creative heights he achieved.

That is a very insightful view Pete! Thank you for posting it… food for thought indeed. M

Pete It would have been great to have had you there! And Andy Bodnar, who apparently has health issues. Steve Goulding held it all together as great drummers do! The official backstage pic below. I am still buzzing…

Graham Parker and the Rumour, Nick Lowe and Jona Lewie in tribute show for Bob Andrews. Putney Half Moon. Haven’t seen Parker in 45 years. Now the Rumour were a band...

Pretty sure its killed the thread too! 😂 Maybe we all fear being described thus…

I think in non-club/pub venues people like to show appreciation and identify with the band. Important if you have a lineup like ours thats ever changing.

If your guitars are as old as that joke, I’m quids in! 🎸

And your address is?😉

If a little limiting…

I have been advised not to discuss the guitarist’s extensive collection for fear of burglary😮

Don’t forget (John) Burke Shelley!

Mine is Mick St Michael, a pseudonym I invented in 1984 when editing a short lived music paper, Soundcheck. It inflated the number of writers under my control! Alvin Stardust once bought me a coffee. Amazingly, that was what appeared on his Mastercard rather than Bernard Jewry…

You mean you’re not really Dan Dare? 🚀😮

Have you ever been in a band with someone so publicity-shy they don’t even want to be introduced to the audience? Asking for an anonymous friend…😁
