2013/11/21

Nov 2013: Still Feelin' The Noize The 70s was one of the most memorable decades in music history, not least because of the impact of glam-rock and its influence on later muscians. There's no doubt that one of the legendary bands of that time was #Slade and I was very lucky to be able to spend an afternoon with guitarist, and one of the most genuine men in the music industry, Dave Hill, who is still 'feeling the noize'. This is a little of that conversation. #DaveHill #rock #pop #slade

April 2013: Getting Under Skunk Anansie’s Skin There are few female lead-singers quite as formidable as Skunk Anansie’s #Skin. Independent, striking, strong. Just a few words that are frequently used to describe her. But when I interviewed her and Skunk Anansie guitarist, #Ace, recently I discovered a softer, more poignant, side to her nature. Here’s what they had to say. #SkunkAnansie #rock #interview

Sept 2012: From Sex Pistol to Philistine The backwaters of North-Norfolk is not usually the place where you would expect to see an ex-member of the Sex Pistols, one of the most rebellious bands of our time.

I was fortunate enough to spend an evening in his delightful company. Not the most conventional of interviews, we shared a few laughs
