About this episode

John Robb returns to discuss his musical memoir and experiences in punk culture.

Regular listeners may remember that we had todays guest on the podcast way back in series 4 episode 1 when he came on to talk about his brilliant book about Goth culture, we had a great old chat and I immediately wanted to invite him back for a longer discussion which is why we are delighted to welcome back, Johnny Robb. John is a musician, writer and punk icon who has finally published his Biography 'Punk rock ruined my life (and other stories)', a musical memoir that flits from one amazing musical moment to another with wit and honesty. As a musician he founded The Membranes and later Goldblade, and as a writer he came up with buzzwords that have literally become dictionary staples like 'Brit-Pop' and 'Grunge'. HIs wit and style make him relatable and entertaining and his memoir reflects that on every page. Welcome to the podcast John Robb.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
