“This is the first time the image has been seen, even by June apparently! She told me recently that this was her first time photographing a concert. She was going to see Blondie with a friend. They both worked at Granada. June decided to take a camera as she was getting more interested in still photography and thought she might take a few shots from the her position in the audience. According to June, her friend had a press pass and handed it to her and pushed her through a door leading straight out onto the side of the stage. Rather nervously she stayed there and captured a roll of film of the band. The negatives have remained unprinted or scanned until now. There is another roll of the Buzzcocks preparing for a video shoot, one of which I posted a while back. There are other sheets of negs which I have yet to look at. I've told June she should write her memoirs as she was there when it was all kicking off in the mid 70s. Going out with Tony Wilson, working on the So It Goes programmes with him....she seems to know most of the people involved in the early days of punk and Factory. I think she thinks it's only me that finds all this fascinating!”
“Hello Zoe,
I'm interested to know what the DVD is of and whether you have any other live stuff. I've got copies of some studio material which I'd be very happy to pass on to you but I can't find an email address for you. If you could contact me on info@michaelpollard.co.uk that would be great. My wife, Kathryn, was with the band for a short while, playing keyboards. She introduced me to the band's music some years ago and I was instantly hooked. Hope to hear from you.”
