85: The NME in the 80s with Paul Duane

Filmmaker Paul Duane joins Alan and guest co-host Andrea Cleary to talk about the NME in the 80s. We talk about how to find good music in pre-internet Ireland, political music writing, working class autodidacts, owning music vs streaming it, whether boxset rarities are ever worth it, and Paul’s current work with Bill Drummond. It’s a wide-ranging and it was a delight to record. Follow Paul on Twitter @MrPaulDuane. His latest film, Best Before Death, will be showing on Friday 27th September at the IFI Documentary Festival.
