Anyone go to this?
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!
Inevitable
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.
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.

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)
