“I just sat at the drums and said, ‘Can I have a go?’ I just took to it.” — Honey Lantree #BOTD
Lantree, hairdresser turned drummer for the Joe-Meek-produced (boy) band The Honeycombs. A boy band w/a girl drummer is still rare. In the 1960s it was unheard of. A wee thread on this inspiring figure!

Today for @thebulwark.bsky.social I wrote about one of my favorite writers, the sui generis Barbara Comyns. It is my hope that my piece will become so popular that all of her books will come back in print so I can get the two I haven't read yet.
