What was Andy Miller wearing and why? What obscure McCartney track did Danny Baker say was a masterpiece? What did Graham Gouldman nick from Things We Said Today when writing hits for the Hollies? The John Peel auction and the prices people paid for an Oz Obscenity Trial vest, copies of Sniffin’ Glue and a postcard from John Lennon. Is punk the new pop memorabilia sweet spot?Why gigs are getting longer. How music hall shaped the first pop package tours. Dads and daughters at concerts. Plus patron birthday guest Andrew Stocks and a Fava’s Day gift from Keith Adsley.-------Grab your EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal by going to nordvpn.com/yourear to get up a Huge Discount off your NordVPN Plan + 1 additional month for free + a bonus gift!
