Always thought you were an amazing interviewer and personality John, your music knowledge and appreciation for everything music is really refreshing and I admire it a lot, I have watched your British Masters with Mark E Smith about 300 times haha, I miss the miserable old bugger! Greetings from Manchester, I hope you are doing well!
Bloody hell, I came here from the British Masters on Noisey and didn't recognise Doran. He's aged a lot and clearly the accident and covid have taken its toll. Hope the change of scene is good for him in the long term. Loved the British Masters.
Beginning to end, brilliant. The Blackcat Jolly lad event, with added Kjetil, was a great afternoon. Thank you to John and Luke for The Quietus, I've discovered so much amazing music through the site. And another thank you to John for talking and writing about the fascist attitudes of some musicians and bands, it needs to be exposed more openly. Hope you get to do that walk John.
Saw Omar Souleyman in Melbourne in 2015 (at a guess) with Dan from Wild Animals who may watch this channel. He played to a 3/4 sold out room of 800 cap or so and it was a great show.
GRUNGE! Right Doran, we've pretty much triangulated your exact location from this interview and we're coming round for a cup of tea and a chat real soon...
