Harpy 03-24-2023 5:38:57 AM CST This is an incredible site, so much information. John Moser 03-14-2022 10:02:23 PM CST I recall, as a 13-year old boy in 1985, buying two cassettes at WH Smith in Barnet High St, North London, one saturday afternoon. One was 'Behind The Sun' by Eric Clapton, the other was 'Meat Is Murder' by the Smiths. It's funny to recall in 2022 how, 12 months later, particularly on the back of hearing 'Marquee Moon' by Television and seeing The June Brides live at ULU (University of London Union, Malet St, London WC1, England), it could be said that the latter magnum opus (the best thing The Smiths ever did, in my opinion) simply totalled Clapton and one's other hideous, plainly uninformed listening options at the time - Dire Straits & Sting. As background: this credit-card rock destroying process had been generally engineered in the media by regularly listening to John Peel, 10-12 Mon-Thurs on Radio 1, along with reading weekly doses of The New Musical Express newspaper, all initially driven by an addiction to 'The Old Orange Flute' by The Dubliners as a very small, 7-8 year old boy; everything then creatively culminated in the publication of the first issue of 'The Main Street Journal' in London, England in the winter of 1993, which I co-edited and co-published, eight years later.

Buzz Magazine The Smiths Indeed were formed in Liverpool in 2005, after a deceptively placed advertisement caught the eye of an ambitious aficionado. The band consists of Smiths devotees and outstanding musicians. Their trump card is a singer with uncannily similar vocal chords to Morrissey's. In a relatively short space of time, The Smiths Indeed have emerged as a fantastic live act, aiming to capture the essence of a mid-1980s Smiths concert. Check out our YouTube channel, Buzz TV, and watch our short documentary where we go behind the scenes with the tribute band. polle 12-15-2016 7:33:22 PM CST site is dood, geen reacties Polle 01-09-2016 7:14:52 PM CST nummer 1 site, ook Belgen aanwezig ?

Prior to this London season, Half a Person has been ‘tried out’ in various venues around the UK including a sell–out performance at The Lowry, in The Smiths’ hometown, Salford.

I'm compiling a 80s indie youth style book called A Scene In Between due to released in September by Cicada Books. I'm looking for early photographs of the Smiths to feature in the book or snaps of yourself dressing like them from the time. Nothing after 87 considered i'm afraid. The more amateur the better as all the photos in the book are taken by music fans from the time not pro photographers. Please get in touch if you have anything of interest.
