I got straight in and tickets had already gone. Tried again, got told I was a bot, then got kicked out. Ain’t technology grand?

Today was the presale, tomorrow is the general sale. But seeing as the ICA only holds 350 I don’t fancy the odds of getting a ticket. The guest list is going to take up most of that!

The ICA is a ridiculously small venue for this, so it was always going to be a bun fight, but the least AEG could've done was make sure their systems were up to it. Bring back the days of queuing outside Star Green on Argyll Street I say!

For me, they’re like an annoying, overachieving mate. I know they’re going to be good at everything they do, but I can only ever appreciate it begrudgingly. Like, The Bends is brilliant - but OF COURSE it is!

“As God is my witness…”

An absolute giant. His 2018 feature for ‘the other mag’ on Ian McCulloch remains one of the greatest ever pieces of music journalism, not just on the Bunnymen, but on any band.

My tribe.

Great band.

Always one of my favourites. This version is incredible too. open.spotify.com/track/0QTXed...

The versions of Computer Blue and Darling Nikki are definitive. What a band The Revolution were.

Thanks! I have to admit, he was a bit of a style icon for me!

What a fantastic band they were.
