Ahem, thanks for the mention Spiny. It's been 30 years since I left the 'Shawe! But we'll have issue 4 of The Helmet Rides Again out in time for Christmas, with another big interview.Lots of perceptions above with facts and opinion here about fanzines. All to be commended. BTH and Noel was from Royal Oak, Wythenshawe. South Manchester near me. Fanzines have always provided a lasting record in print unlike the internet. The exception is MCIVTA from the earliest days of the internet in the 1990's and still going strong. Subscribe for free.
Forums and social media are transient catering only for the moment.
I have continued to subscribe to KoTK and others because they record a lasting snapshot not just a moment in time. Long and thoughtful articles to digest including financial analysis from the likes of Colin Savage (PB)
I recommend others do so now as it is the last survivor, subscription only. Use it or lose a great resource.

No. But he was the brother of Dagenham Dave..... two different songs with the same title by The Stranglers and er, Morrissey....Any relation to Dan the Daggerman from Dagenham referenced by Alan Patridge?
