Wilson is a Freeman - surely everyone who is dead is free - nice joke!

Tony Wilson

Cerysmatic has pointed out someone else’s alternative viewpoint to the normal heroic rhetoric being bandied around about the sometime record mogul. This relates to the freedom of Manchester thing, e.g. here.

Fair play to John Cooper for publishing the info on his site which, it must be said, normally throws a wholly positive light onto the whole Factory thing.

New Pictures of Crawling Chaos

I’ve received some extra information from Holly today with some extra photos that should be a bit interesting for those of a historical bent! Any descriptions are left to right.

CC_holly_eddie.jpgIn the back of a Manchester club (Electric Ballroom I think), waiting to find out which one.Holly and Eddie Fenn (Fatso) in photogenic mode, one of his finer poses.

Hom_Eq_Scan.jpgslightly worn cover from the original Homunculus Equinox release. I’ve a better one with the original Foetus cover up sticker (these are going for $50 on ebay etc ho ho). Trouble is, I’ve never got round to scanning it. The model is Curly Jhon. He survived. The camera does lie, even before photoshop.

Jeff_Chrissie.jpgDoomage & Chrissie. Angst. Something’s gonna happen soon here…


Rees & Jeff down a Welsh track - New Year's do, 1981, organised by Anth Chester's bro'. Strangely and Doomage. This was a New Years gig down near Lampeter/Tregaron. Some guy from Hawkwind was there passing the joints around, which was nice. We slept in a farmhouse and I think this is us going for a walk in the morning.


Newc_Uni.jpgNewcastle University outdoor lunchtime gig. This is not long after Holly joined as I can spy a Wem Copycat. Hence the twiddling.
People are Holly, Billy Connolly (Gordon)(famous for drinking the warm piss in a beer can and not noticing), Strangely, ?, ? , Curly (Ligger) Jhon, ? .
