Firstly, I'd like to get re-acquianted with ALL the people who were part of the punk, Indie, New Romantic and Goth scene in the Midlands. This includes clubbers, bands, fans, fanatics.Secondly, more broadly, I also would like to reach out to people making meaningful music & words nowadays & also to the people who's hearts are being touched.Whoever you are, if you have spirit, guts, truth then I want to know you.I am not interested in bogus, silly, untruthful fakers who live behind a "cyber persona" or virtual mask. I like people who have the courage to be what they are & who aren't one of life's quitters.
