This week on Oh! Brother, we’re joined by Paul Research (@paulresearch.bsky.social) of Scars. Paul talks Edinburgh punk, Fast Product, Horrorshow, touring with The Human League, and the making of Author! Author! (1/2)
Tommy also talks about what came after: floor sanding, renovating old houses, and building a soap business. Enjoy! Linktr.ee/ohbrothershow
Joining us this week on Oh! Brother, Manc music scribe Mick Middles. We dig into the DIY fanzine boom - spilling ink on buses, dodging bricks from Teds at the Electric Circus and writing for Sounds. (+)
Later, Craig Scanlon joins the conversation for audience questions, memories, credits, grievances, and a few welcome detours along the way. Thanks to Prestwich Arts Festival for having us, and we hope you enjoy it! Linktr.ee/ohbrothershow
There’s Fall chat too: Live at the Witch Trials, meeting Mark E. Smith and Kay Carroll, Martin Bramah’s guitar, and Marc Riley’s long-standing support for Scars. Hope you enjoy! Linktr.ee/ohbrothershow
Also: touring NY with New Order, plus writing books on Frank Sidebottom and Les Dawson, as well as writing with Mark, of course. Hope you enjoy! Linktr.ee/ohbrothershow
This week on Oh! Brother, we’re delighted to present a live episode with Simon Wolstencroft (@funkysi.bsky.social), for a spirited look at The Fall in 1994. We revisit Middle Class Revolt, Peel sessions, a US tour, lineup shifts, Brix’s return, Julia Nagle’s arrival, and all the usual chaos. (+)
This week, Tommy Crooks joins us to talk art school, painting, Provence, East Lothian, and the chance meeting with Mark E. Smith on Leith Walk that led, somehow, to The Fall. (+)
Along the way, we get into first hearing “Totally Wired”, Craig’s exit, Lucy Rimmer’s letter, Brix’s last gig, rehearsals in Levenshulme, Cardiff with Super Furry Animals, recording Levitate, the US tour, and the final meltdown at Brownies. (+)
