Department S - new album coming October 20th 2017
I have a great love for this band. They tour extensively and should be on your ''must see'' list as they really do deliver an amazing live performance.
After last years album, When All Is Said & All Is Done, they follow it up with a compilation album of their singles from down the years up to date. Including some fresh new mixes of old favourites.
Its called 45 Revolutions - Singles 1980-2017 and will be available from 20th October 2017.

The Public Image is Rotten - UK/Euro Premiere - a review
The Public Image
is Rotten – a review
UK/Euro Premiere
Raindance Festival
Vue Cinema, Leicester
Square, London
30th
September 2017
This is PIL, this is the story of PIL, John Lydon’s
continuing work in progress.
This was so good. Better than I could have hoped for.
Finally the story of Public Image Ltd, rising from the ashes of the Sex Pistols.
A new creation, a new direction for John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten.
The story of PIL has been a strange and twisted tale. Many
members have come and gone over the years but the one constant has been its
creator – John Lydon.
This is quite an open and frank documentary. Tales of genius,
disappointment, chaos, betrayal and creativity.
There’s input from members past and present including all
the original founding members, Wobble, Levene and Walker. Plus long term member
Martin Atkins and others.
This is as about as honest a story as you will ever hear straight
from the people that were there.
The film has a few surprises in its content, not least the
honesty from all its members past & present but also because of the
inclusion of some great clips. Some of which had not been seen previously.
I loved the fact that I got to see some live footage from
PIL’s first ever gig as well as their UK debut back in 1978.
John Lydon is of course the main focus. But this is very
much his story. He tells some great stories and you can tell that despite the apparent
animosity the past PIL members have had for each other, for various reasons, he
still has a great respect and love for their musical talent and their input
into the band.
The documentary delivers. It is well made and balanced.
Tabbert Fiiller deserves a huge amount of credit for putting together this
amazing piece of work. Especially for getting so many people to tell their side
of the story.
Hearing Allan Dias talking about why he had to leave PIL in 1992 and why Lu left are interesting stories. The Public Image Ltd of old played hard and it took its toll.
Its actually amazing that PIL have got back together again and are performing well and making new music. But they have all grown and changed...and for the better.
The Premiere itself was a great event. John, Scott and Lu
mingled with fans. I had a lovely chat with Lu. He asked me what would make
next years anniversary special for me- so I told him a new album and a tour. I
also asked him to consider mixing the live set up in future, dropping the 20
minute long Religion and maybe playing other tracks like Don’t Ask Me, Cruel
and Seattle. We both agreed that the album That What is Not is a favourite of
both of ours. So who knows what will happen next year, but I’m hoping for
something special – fingers crossed.
If you get the chance to see The Public image is Rotten you
wont be disappointed. Hopefully it will get a DVD release in the future – Fans will
lap it up.
Well Done Tabbert and Thank You - This has definitely been worth the wait
