Spud done good! He took my sad old battered 196? GT-75 Martin, car paint flaking off Semi Acoustic. Stripped the crappy spray paint off to reveal lovely maple wood. Transformed it into a great looking guitar. Last minute addition of a roller bridge helped the thing stay in tune, when going to town on the whammy bar coopersmusic.co.uk

In Oct '78 JJ Campbell & I sent a joke tape in to @StiffRecords (merely to get 1 of their famous "rejected" letters!) under the name It's Immaterial.
45 years later I'm back with them for 1 night only, guests of the mighty @DeafSchoolMusic at Liverpool Uni tomorrow night.

Ian Broudie's story – from Liverpool post-punk dark horse to belated pop stardom with The Lightning Seeds – is a great one. And, as his upcoming memoir attests, he tells it really well. I'll be extracting some of those tales at THIS event on Oct 25. Come! dice.fm/event/br7lg-ia…
