Inflammable Material planted in my head

 Ian Smith, is compiling a book of SLF fan anecdotes covering their early days up to ’83.

Submissions are now open, and everyone who saw them is welcome to contribute.  He’s not looking for lists of songs, rather the impression the gig(s) made on individuals, stories of meeting up with the band, and any funny/interesting anecdotes along the way.

Visit this link for more detail:

All contributors will be name checked accordingly.

There are similar excellent books on The Clash and The Jam

Nobody listens anymore....

SD74 is down to the last few copies, but work on SD75 is well underway.

ABRAZOS are recording in April and we will be releasing the results in some format or other.
