This may or may not be internet conspiracy conjecture, but who would actually be surprised?

Was too young but I know a few older folk around my way who were there. Girl I know who was 18 at the time remembers being clobbered by the Plod. Maggies Boot Boys she called them

If you want a really engaging Summer read with an apocalyptic eye on the future, this is it. The kind of book for people who have sometimes ( erroneously) imagined they would be fine if they got banged up!

No, we were at something else the same night, or maybe the night before, and I remember mention of it. For whatever reason, we didn’t go.

Fairly sure Craig Christon was there and so was Justin Robertson.

Finally getting around to this - it’s been on the shelf for a while

Wife bought me this and currently half way through. Enjoying it a lot more than I was expecting to. Written really well imo and funny.

I read it a couple of years ago, really enjoyed it. Some good anecdotes in it, with hindsight I should’ve noted stuff down I wanted to check out.

Read this recently and absolutely loved it. Bradley is such a great writer and really brings things to life. A fun book pairing is A Brief History of Seven Killings.

Enjoy!

Top book. Sounds like London by him is also a great read.

On holiday and just finished the Neneh Cherry autobiography, which I recommend most strongly.

Now moving on to Edward Enninful’s autobiography

My former operations director went from us to being the CFO for Monocle (or whomever the publisher is) and as a result once in a while I get a couple of copies through the door. Good to read on long journeys and leaving in business lounges afterward. They do a really good job in making you want to see the places they talk about,

Took me YEARS to id Templehead. It turned into an obsession. I thought it might’ve been Flowered Up, Primal Scream, Sabres… but not even close

File alongside that summer of ‘91 and brilliant music - Weatherall on fire, Zoe (I mean it was good at first), Primal Scream in Leicester Square and more…

(Edit - just played Zoe to see what it sounds like now. Maybe hasn’t aged great… She belts it out)
