An interview with Alan here at The Guardian and their review by M John HarrisonI first met Alan Warner 25 years ago just after he had published Morvern Callar. He felt like the most exciting writer in the world. All these years later I am so proud to work with a writer who has such a unique vision. Raising a glass to you, sir: Oban’s Finest 🏴 https://t.co/FUYyvldor4

I posted an old set from Crown of Thorns the other day here's a video I shot at the local pub in Fairfield where Chris was brought up and this song below was based on a real incident at the Alphington 7/11 many years ago Here's the wonderful Live At The Continental album with Shane O'Mara on guitars and Jex Saarelaht on piano and organ with Chris on vocals and harmonica Here's a documentary about the album 23 years on
Jason Lee's film journal is also worth checking out

Following on from the On-U Sound posts here's ten minutes of Prince Far I & Creation Rebel backstage in Zurich 1983 and here's my x-wife's memory of the man with the 'voice of thunder':
I never have forgiven Prince Far I for those Snowballs. When Tim plays his music now I still remember that night. RIP.
Finally raise your glass of whatever to the man who turned 85 yesterday
