“I don't, no. But I still have a transcript of the interview.”

“Remember being in here the day after John Peel had played Laurie Anderson's O Superman for the first time. There's some lad at the counter trying to describe it going "ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah" for what seemed to be hours.”

“My eldest son and his his mates have recently formed AFC Bamboo by way of tribute. They will make their debut in East Cheshire division 4 next season.”

“Jimi Hendrix played here, when it was The Tabernacle. They spelt his name "Jimmi" on the flyers.”

“"I said to my friend, I'm in a dilemma" he said "nice cars, dilemmas" Ted, 1986”

“I compered this gig, oh yeah. New Years Day hangovers and a power cut. Top stuff.

Unfortunate update on the venue: tinyurl.com/btvkaua”

“@broken umbrella - the set list didn't change much while I was going. Always played: Rose Garden Funeral of Sores - Bauhaus; Amsterdam - Bowie, Time Warp - Rocky Horror Show; Tainted Love - Soft Cell; Shack Up - ACR (which I kept pestering for) are among the ones that immediately spring to mind”

“Well the Moondogs were from Northern Ireland. We have a signed single of theirs in the attic. Hazel Grove Youth Club was miles better than it should have been with the likes of The Fall among artists playing there. And now every Thursday I'm sat in my car outside it, waiting to pick my daughter up from cheerleading practice. Various Times indeed.”

“I'm pretty sure that the Levellers mentioned there were the Manchester-based Levellers, not the grubby bunch that made a bigger name for themselves elsewhere.”
