The story is reasonably well known. I don't think it's him either, but there's nothing definitive. Would need dates to check against known movements :-)

Hey Factory completists, have you got Fac2.07? Printout of the Factory Too website. 1994 maybe. Mark E Smith is unhappy with Kim Philby.

"We" don't know (I'm sure someone does) what Tempo House represented. A Tempo House has been identified, but whether it's the right one is unknown. "Grouse" has generally been interpreted to mean "complain", and this is the first time I've seen "Famous Grouse" mentioned - worth noting!

Scanned this neg at the weekend - just in time for Week N for Noise. The sadly very much not immortal Mark E Smith, taken with a Yashica Electro at The Fall gig at Balne Lane WMC, Wakefield, May 21 2010. I have the setlist too - also pictured.
