If i m not mistaken he started wearing the hat at the "tune in , turn on..." 1985 tour. So if it s Leeds it must be 16/03/1985. Didn't he start wearing the hat in '84? I've got a copy of Smash Hits (!) from around June 1984 with a Sisters interview. Andrew's wearing a hat in the picture a...

Kraftwerk? If we assume that their influence began with Autobahn in 1974, we can say that they're post-Bowie. Hell, they even influenced Bowie himself in his Berlin years! Although I love Bowie, I'm inclined to be a bit contrary here and claim that his influence was more a cultural one than a musica...

I spoke to him after a God Machine gig in Liverpool Planet X in around 1991. Such a sweet, lovely bloke.

Apart from that, I've seen Mary Hansen (Stereolab), Chris Acland (Lush), Nick Sanderson (Earl Brutus) and the much-missed John Balance (Coil).
