“Hi, would it be possible to use this feature as part of my research for my book concerning why Manchester embraced the punk movement very early on it's development? Obviously full credits will be given. Thanks, Gareth”
“Hi Robin, I'd like to use your article as a reference point in my book about the Manchester punk scene. I would like to use the first of Tosh's quotes, (Buzzcocks E.P....) and also the first couple of sentences as a short introduction piece in the book. Of course full credit will be given. Thanks, Gareth”
I'm currently in the throes of writing a book on the extremely important part that Manchester played in the very early days of punk. My primary focus is on the people who were the first to embrace it, coming from the various musical backgrounds of Pips, Northern Soul, Glam and Iggy. I'm not too interested in the stuff everyone knows about. June would be an absolute gem of a person to interview and contribute to it. I have started a piece on So It Goes as this was where Sex Pistols first tv appearance happened, but only limited information. You are certainly not the only fascinated person! My email address is garethflo@aol.com, this is exciting news!”
“Hi,
I am working on a project to be exhibited at Rebellion festival in Blackpool in August, and I would love to use your photos of flyers for the Electric Circus. Would that be okay? A full credit would be given to the items I use.
I hope you can help, as this would greatly enhance my project.
