I finally, after all these years, got hold of a copy of Literally. It's a sometimes informative read but I strikes me there's a lot of alcohol mentioned. It's always in the sense of casual drinking, champagne, white wine... but also a pint or two.
There's some mentioning of Neil being drunk on a...

I'm wondering if anyone knows the full tracklist of what they played at their first gig at Brixton Fridge? Did they play early Bobby O versions of songs like I Get Excited? Also curious as to what they played at ICA the next year in 85.

I love so mucha what he did on songs like this and he is very versatile:

Looking forward to Hotspot next month, and wanted to provide an early Xmas present to help fill in the time gap!

I read 100 lyrics & a poem and is struck by the comment to ICHH on page 87 my friend was beaten up by the homophobic occupants of the flat below him .
We're talking about an AIDS-struck man near his death beaten up by his own neighbours. Truly horrifying times we've lived through.
