My first interview about the Sprouts book, with my old pals Mark and Dave. Lots of fun, obviously (and on which I discover how tricky it is to say the phrases 'Merton Parkas' and 'permanent markers' in the same sentence). open.spotify.com/episode/0CC5...

OUT NOW Mike Joyce - The Drums The critically acclaimed, Penderyn nominated, bestselling autobiography by the legendary drummer is out today in paperback. The true story of The Smiths by their number one fan #mikejoyce #thesmiths #morrissey

‘Prince Charming’ was the first album I bought. I was 8. I still have it. It’s fair to say that Adam and the Ants changed my life. It’s an absolute honour to be publishing Marco’s book. It’s a story that totally understands and embraces the ridiculousness of pop music. And it’s properly funny.

MARCO PIRRONI - ‘YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE’ The long awaited autobiography. The true story of a pop phenomenon. This is Marco. Allow him to introduce his Firebird Seven. 10-09-26 tr.ee/P2_qxNZ6jC
