To Jones Via Lancaster
An article in Mojo magazine about David Bowie’s brief musical evolutionary period with The Lower Third via interview and book extracts with the band’s drummer, Phil Lancaster. The book sounds like it could be an interesting read, actually. I still find the story of David endlessly fascinating. I no doubt forever will. “It’s too late…
Michael Rother Be Solo
A great and rather open interview with Michael Rother in Uncut magazine, exploring his music career, focusing on his time working with Klaus Dinger on Neu! – a rather fractious and strained musical partnership by Rother’s own account, moving on to Harmonia and finally working solo. It has given me more musical off shoots to…
New Wave: Dare To Be Different On DVD
A great documentary about Long Island radio station WLIR that broadcasted from 1959 until it was forced to close from having its licence revoked in 1987. A champion of the second British invasion of the early 1980’s due to an overhaul and change in musical output. The station was very popular for those wanting exposure…

GED GRIMES!
I have an interview Ged had with BBC Radio 3 programme “Music Matters” to upload shortly. He discussed his Dundonian roots, the city and its culture, The Bard’s Tale and keeping the Gaelic language alive. At the end of the interview, his name was mentioned again (ie: as in “I have been just talking to…”)…
Kerr Down Under – In NewKERRstle
Oh, holy fucking shitflaps, he’s bringing up 2020 as the full itenirary tour year for Oz, again! I should have pulled out all the stops to go! I NEARLY did! I nearly booked a flight that would have had me out there by now. I was at the Etihad website, I was at the last…
Steve Hillage Interview – Guitarist Magazine – Dec, 2018
This guy I find hilarious…if purely by accident on his part. But I adore him too – for his involvement in the Simple Minds story. It really was a stroke of genius to hire him to produce Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call. I mean, John Leckie had been great…and Real To Real Cacophony and Empires…
