Ahoy
I was just the right age to be caught up in the Britpop scene and despite the myriad criticisms leveled at the bands, the music and the hype over the years I still have nothing but happy memories of it all.
Blur at the Ally Pally with Supergrass, Corduroy and Pulp.
Grabbing a kiss from Justine Frischmann when Elastica played in a tiny venue in Glasgow.
A blue vinyl 7" single bought on The Bluetones first tour.
Heady nights at Blow-Up.
Suited and booted at The Egg in Edinburgh.
Starting my own band (miserable Smiths/Suede copyists with a naff/natty name!).
That band supporting Johnny Panic with Alain Whyte.
Siding with Blur over Oasis.
Sharp suits and sharper shoes.
Morrissey reigning supreme as Godfather of the whole sorry scene.
Buying two copies of the debut Menswe@r single because I thought it was going to be collectable...I'm not making this up!
Following Gene on tour.
In honor of the Britpop years I give you my very own "British Image No. 1" compilation...
