For the sixth episode of Tales From A Disappearing City I am joined by
Neil who produces a couple of highly respected and long running blogs that have consistently documented all aspects of what we cover on TFADC and so it was essential to touch base and hear some stories and history. "Transpontine" covers all things subcultural from the South side of the river whilst "History is Made at Night" turns it's attention to the after hours. I first met Neil at the Dead by Dawn night in the 90's in Brixton and it was a real pleasure to chat and discover some of his formative experiences in the scene. In this episode we discuss his early record and gig experiences growing up in the late 1970's in Luton as well as how post punk and radical politics helped him start his lifelong fight against right wing governments and racism on the streets.
