@grantmcphee.bsky.socialHere's a thing - a 1978 Nova Mob interview with Pete Wylie and Julian Cope.

@grantmcphee.bsky.socialMy memory is terrible. Memory is a strange thing but what you're saying is very helpful as you and the others must have known and had the ability to buy tickets. If those posters were not up in time then Probe and Skeleton must have been advertising as well as selling tickets?
@grantmcphee.bsky.socialThe contemporary evidence leans heavily towards Sex Pistols being a very late addition - only officially confirmed two days before they played, no mention in the Echo on the 9th when discussing the success, diary notes, posters being made for Runaways for the 8th but Brownies for the 15th.

@grantmcphee.bsky.socialI thought I'd bring together Parts 1–16 of 50 Years of The Pool of Life into one place. The series charts Mathew Street’s evolution from 1961 to 1983, encompassing Eric’s, punk, Jung, Illuminatus! and all manner of strangeness.
