Ian Curtis who died 46 years ago today, May 18 1980. For me, the greatest live performer ever, the best lyricist ever, and frontman of the greatest band of all-time @joydivision who made more creative progress faster than any other artist ever. How I wish he were here with us now

Ever get the feeling you've been treated? Saw an amazing new movie called The Drama at the legendary @ScreenOTGreen where the Pistols, The Clash & Buzzcocks played on the same bill in 1976! One of the few punk venues that hasn't been flattened in the name of corporate destruction

Our first-ever feature in Record Collector! In the live reviews next to my beloved @suedeHQ of all bands, they reviewed our show in Coventry on our latest UK headline tour. One of my favourite nights of the tour, the stage was bathed in an eerie blue glow and the sound was magic

On this night 38 years ago, Inga Maria Hauser was murdered. Appropriately on this 38th anniversary, here's Part 38 of my long-running blog for Inga, a new instalment that focuses on my visit to Inga's grave at the Ostfriedhof in Munich with Inga's niece ✊🏼

“Fell In Love With A Ghost” is one of the more pastoral songs on our new album ‘Girl On The Edge Of The World’. I recently got a chance to film this one-off impromptu short solo acoustic version at a rehearsal in Glasgow.

Oh Manchester, so much to answer for.. Mainlining a new music discovery today (the brilliant Reeling by @SaySheShe) while making life hard for myself as usual by screwing up my transport connections (I tried to travel in the opposite direction to Manchester!) I need a reboot 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣
