10 years after I’m Not With The Band comes the rabble-rousing ‘companion’ book… I’m Not With THE MAN! A compendium of encounters saluting music's freaks, geeks & oddballs, the likes we’ll never see again in this safe-space risk-free age of ‘wellness’. Out July 2 on @FleetReads
Manchester! So much to answer for...
... or rather I'll be doing the answering on Saturday 14 Nov at 8.15 pm as part of @Lthanwordsfest talking to @e17RnR_books about I'm Not With The Man (maverick Mancunians included).

Oasis people! Swanky new photo book, over 200 double-top images from legendary lensman Tom Sheehan out now. I’ve written what Tom calls “the verbals”, reliving the chaotic capers of the olden days. Mega!

A bloody gorgeous interview with the Queen @SylvPatterson at @Rockfieldstudio for My Family and Other Rock Stars in You Magazine today. And this is it: 'Millions of us, across the generations, are Rockfield kids.' YES! Thank you, Sylvia!

Bowie Odyssey 74 by Simon Goddard is a truly brilliant book, part of his epic yearly novelisation of Bowie throughout the decade. A towering piece of ongoing work.
I’m interviewing Simon about it @thesocial tonight from 6. Lovely place for a sunny pavement pint too. Tix on door!

I’m currently devouring THIS and it might well be my most favourite @DavidBowieReal book EVER. It’s just… BRILLIANT. Funny… intriguing… full of mischief. Great work #simongoddard @OmnibusPress 👊💥⭐️

Proof I lived on the same planet at the same time as the greatest snooker player in history @ronnieo147… a blonde blur behind him on @itvlondon last night at premiere of his new doc #TheEdgeOfEverything. A maverick punk rock spirit, he/it is AMAZING.
