I think this is the first time I’ve done this, purchased this morning from Waterstones Stockport, started reading on the same day (or weekend) as the episode.

Excellent gig last night watching @theloftuk.bsky.social in Manchester + merch + I met Andy Strickland whose reviews in Record Mirror guided me as a young student on a journey into good musical taste back in the day. Thanks Andy, your “Earbenders” were always spot on!

A review from Record Mirror, 5th December 1987 - John Shuttleworth as support to The Jack Rubies at The Marquee in London - described as JS’s first ever gig and the coming of “the new comic Messiah”.
