“Defo not 1990! We was still writing on walls and listening to cassettes in '90. Don't even think Johnny had a record : ) Plus The Score album (not Ready or Not) dropped in 1996”

“I found Geese on Back Pool Fold in 1985 when I went to buy a ticket for The Boardwalk Christmas party (James and The Railway Children) as this is where they were being sold! I'd hunted everywhere for a polo neck jumper, only finding them in old men's shops...but of course Geese had them. Such a cool shop”

“This was produced around 1983-4. I was a proud contributor and helped pull this together along with Ian Butterworth (Tunnelvision, Vee VV, Section 25), Steve Farmery (The Membranes, Mark Riley & The Creepers), Dave Crabtree (One Way System) and Roger Wilkley (Section 25), along with possibly Chris Shea (lyric writer for some of Tunnelvision’s songs). Apologies to other contributors I may have forgotten.”
