Which reminded me of my friend Nick Gill whose childhood was also spent there. He and I grew up at the same time though hundreds of miles apart, obsessed with music albeit with quite different tastes. I’ve always loathed The Smiths and he scorns my love for Spandau Ballet. Yet there are still vast areas where our musical venn diagrams overlap: this track, for example. Covered of course by The Sex Pistols and quite simply, the template for punk. And it would certainly have influenced those who followed in punk’s wake, like Morrissey. And Gary Kemp.
Finally finished book about big radio magnate brought up in Carlisle
