Aaaaaaaahh ! To be sat near Gina Birch
Anybody who was there, tell us more !
ps : congrats for da Perversita, Matt !
paul morley was funny.
simon r was lovely.
richard boon was a bit odd
gina birch was very unpretentious [whereas a lot of the talk revolved around the value of pretention] and nice.
that person out of gang of 4 told some good stories about back in the day.
a man stood behind me the whole time whispering that paul morley was a cunt and a traitor.
i got a bit annoyed when richard boon was saying that there wasn't a true underground anymore, cuz everything is out there and easily available,apparently. he should try buying wiley's 'firefly' 2 weeks after it's released, then.
with him , it strayed a little into the always awful territory of middle aged men complaining that it was much better in their day, but the other speakers weren't like that at all.
