If memory serves, and it was a long, long time ago, the boys played Long Hot Summer during one of their Simon Bates stand-ins. Controversially, I think Paul Weller did his best work in The Style Council.

The Stephen Morris book is brilliant, possibly even better than Hooky's Substance Bernard Sumner's book was a bit disappointing. Stephen Morris’s books are entertaining enough, but badly need an editor, especially for fourteen odd quid. The standard of the written English is pretty poor in many pla...

Astonishing. I think Hoping for a Miracle is one of the best things they’ve ever done and the dreamy middle section is Actually-era quality.

Is there a complete record anywhere of all the recording sessions done by the Pets over the years with details of songs attempted/mixed/scrapped etc.? Doubtful. I should imagine Neil’s diaries are the closest thing. There would be studio booking records, but they wouldn’t have details of what was b...

Nickname - please don’t worry about some of the comments on this post.

Neil was good friends wit...
