    Joining us this week on Oh! Brother, Manc music scribe Mick Middles. We dig into the DIY fanzine boom—spilling ink on buses, dodging bricks from Teds at the Electric Circus, writing for Sounds. Also: touring NY with New Order, plus writing books on Frank Sidebottom and Les Dawson, as well as writing with Mark, of course. Hope you enjoy!

    This week on Oh! Brother, we were delighted to present a live episode with Simon Wolstencroft, with Craig Scanlon joining later on, for a spirited look back at The Fall in 1994. Simon and the Hanleys revisit Middle Class Revolt, Peel sessions, a US tour, shifting line-ups, Brix’ return, Julia Nagle’s arrival, and the usual road-bound chaos.


    Later, Craig joins the conversation for audience questions, memories, credits, grievances, and a few welcome detours along the way. Hope you enjoy!

    This week on Oh! Brother, we’re joined by David Gedge. David talks about growing up in Manchester, forming The Wedding Present in Leeds, John Peel’s early support, the band’s rise through the indie scene, the famous run of monthly singles, and working with Steve Albini.


    There’s plenty of Fall chat too, including first hearing Live at the Witch Trials, seeing the band in 1979, meeting Mark E. Smith, and why Hex Enduction Hour is forever linked in his mind with orange slices. Hope you enjoy!

If you are a fan of the band The Fall or you like listening to alternative music related banter this is great listening. Steve & Paul Hanley have some great guests including many ex Fall band members. I really look forward to listening, this podcast now on its 3 series. I spoke to Mr Lister on his views of the podcast, he said "respect is due"

Fall Advance!
