They say you must be mad to want to be a goalkeeper and while this book humanises the people involved their madness shines right throughout the 300 pages.
Hope Show 150 – Gabfest 3 1976
So for GabFest *3 myself and Michael have decided to start where music started for us 1976. We chat about the times and the influence many of these bands had.
Book of the Week – Punk Faction BHP Fanzine
A flashback and important document of the UK punk scene in the early 1990's
Play of the day – Moral Mazes
With a back catalog of bands such as Kerosene 454, Channels, Office of Future Plans, Jawbox, Burning Airlines, The Bomb, Airstream Futures and Amusement Parks on Fire this was always bound to be a perfect guitar driven sound
Hope Show 149 – the lowdown
Tonights show. 18 slabs of punk with new songs from J Robbins, MC16, Fatherfigures, Soft On Crime, Zero Again and so many others
Book of the Week – the hill
Brogan was an amateur footballer and while his career outside sport may have been assisted with his prowess on the pitch it is amazing to think how much time and investment goes into playing at the top.
Hope Show 148 – the lowdown, Ed Wenn
Tonight’s show is one with a difference. I get to share some stories with Ed Wenn from Dealing With Damage. We each pick a song and then the next one needs to have some connection with the last. One way of publicizing Ed’s latest bands new release on vinyl. Their excellent album from last year which was originally on cd and download only is being made available soon from Little Rocket Records on vinyl.
Play of the Day: The Long Knives
Sounding like they have brought a Sons of Southern Ulster album and travelled back in time to the West Coast Hardcore scene of the 80's there is something very appealing in the Long Knives
Book of the week – Dark Blue
Here is Shane’s tale, it could be you or I but here is what has happened to this one guy who also happened to be fortunate enough to play football for his county.
Hope Show 147 Gab Fest 2 Futurama 1981 remembered
So we are back – finishing off our chat with Michael Murphy about Futurama 1981. 2 young Dublin Punks venture to England for the first time to see a 2 day festival of punk and post punk acts. Challenging their visions of music and opening up the world of punk rock ingredients as they were amazed by the sounds and vision of the festival.
