I've been booking my tickets for the 2020 Festival @ The 100 Club, 10 days of Punk Rock for £85 is a bargain by my reckoning. I can't make every day but have gone for...

He was such an important figure in the Manchester music scene. Buzzcocks must have their tribute acts? I know that 48 Thrills do at least 2 of theirs in every set. Here's 48 Thrills doing their thing (brilliantly) to Train in Vain (from 1.21)...

End. Bias aside ... Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture. Captured the Bowie sound (Mick Ronson etc) at its highest/rawest.
