MLPP120 - Welly Artcore

Send us Fan MailThis week we're joined by Welly , creator of Artcore fanzine, former vocalist of Cardiff punks Four Letter Word and now, a published author. 'Directions To The Outskirts Of Town' is a collection of Welly's tour diaries that he jotted down in 1994 and 1999 whilst crossing the USA. First as merch guy/roadie for Chaos UK and then with Four Letter Word.The discussion gives an insight into the sometimes grim, sometimes violent (but always interesting!) reality of doing the thing we've all dreamed of doing.There's skinheads gifting bullets, ex-marines taking song titles personally, Sex Pistols songs driving the crowd wild and what chaotic trans-continental punk outing would be complete without The Wurzels?Music selected by Welly and us is from: Medictation, The Roughies, Samiam, Chaos UK, Four Letter Word, Swingin' Utters, Youth Brigade and Gel.
