I was alerted to the Licorice news this morning by a new friend of the ISB
@iammilliam.bsky.social . I told him that I felt several people close to the band had known for some years and decided to respect her life choices. I was lucky enough to see Likky, Rose, Robin & Mike in 1969…

The Fall's support acts were Pure Morning (before they became Clinic) and I, Ludicrous.
On this day 30 years ago it was (Stephen) Duffy headlining, and coincidentally @thelilactime.bsky.social's first live album is released today on @needlemythology.bsky.social. Recorded in 2007, it's wonderful

Oh, hello. It's been a while. Just popping in to let you know that I've launched a new indie-pop fanzine - Zine Things Happen (see what I did there).

It's impossible to overemphasise the importance of Bob Lamb in the musical life of Birmingham. If he'd lived in Manchester or Liverpool he would've had his own South Bank Show. He made the better Kiss Me and the first Lilac Time album. Eternally grateful and sending love xsd
