My Interview Series With English Pop Rebels and Outsiders for 'Albion's Secret History'...
As part of the release of 'Albion's Secret History: Snapshots of England's Pop Rebels and Outsiders' I was honoured to get to interview some of the English artists I discuss in the book. The chapter on Gary Numan is entitled 'Interzones, Edgelands, Psykick Dancehalls and Shamans: Gary Numan, Joy Division and Mark E. Smith'. In our discussion Gary and I discussed the putting together of the Numan persona, his unpublished fiction that informed it, and his experiences of fame.

I talk a lot in the book about The Long Blondes, and how they drew from the legacy of Pulp and Suede, in putting together their Modernist image. The chapter on them is entitled 'Pencil Skirts and Motorway Modernism: The Long Blondes and Black Box Recorder'. I was honoured to chat to Kate Jackson about her time in The Long Blondes, her art, and her work with Bernard Butler.
My interview with her was wonderfully candid and covered many very eclectic topics- from the influence of Barbara Windsor to what it was like seeing her fans dress as her. It can be found here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTCBM...
