Necro 1983 I’m really chuffed that Tim, the old drummer of Necro, found an old C90 cassette tape and a clutch of photographs in a box in his house sometime ago… To me, this stuff is gold dust! A crystal clear recording of the band playing the ‘slower’ three piece line up set without interruption, […]

DOWNLOAD HERE Just prior to the start of another free tour in 1978, Here And Now recorded a John Peel radio session following a chance encounter with him at an open air gig at Meanwhile Gardens. The Peel session captures the essence of Here And Now well. Two songs are from the ‘Give And Take’ […]

Brigandage – The Peel Session – 1983

Fragile / Heresy / Hope / Let It Rot No apologies for uploading more Brigandage material straight after the previous post…My tape of this session disappeared sometime between 1983 and now. My guess is that the C90 was half inched by persons unknown around the late 1980’s. I was gutted when I found that this tape was missing, after […]

RICHARD CABUT – THE ‘LOOKING FOR A KISS’ NOVEL AND OTHER LITERARY WORKS

  Looking For A Kiss – PC-PRESS.   A story of two lovers, Robert, and Marlene, who’s love has long faded. The story is mostly based in the early eighties, in and around the London of that period, a London that is now largely gentrified. The story seems to float around in a dream-like state […]

Diary Of An Anarcho-Goth-Punk Fiend: An essay by Al Puppy

THIS POST HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD FROM THE ORIGINAL POSTING DATE OF DECEMBER 2007 – IN REMBERENCE OF ALISTAIR  I found a diary I kept through 1983. Here are some edited highlights. Of interest is the movement on from punk (anarcho / goth) towards first Psychic TV and second Stonehenge, but also the politics – […]

In Remembrance of Alistair Livingston also known as Al Puppy

Our friend and fellow ‘Puppy’, Alistair Livingston passed on after a short illness on the 3rd November 2018. I am in shock. In the 1980’s, AL was a leading light in the Puppy Collective, Black Sheep Housing Co-op and All The Madmen Records. From 2007 through his Green Galloway blog, Alistair battled to bring attention […]
