I told my cousin in St Kitts to read it. Had this back yesterday “ 46% in, haven’t laughed so much in the whole of 2020,tears running down my face, brilliant.”. I think he’s enjoying it.

Haha brilliant, thanks for posting that Chris, glad he’s enjoying it, See if you can get him to put that on Amazon 😬

If I can cope with the technology I’m on Brum Radio talking about it at about 3.40pm with Adrian Goldberg. I’m listening to the show now, he’s played some brilliant records so far. 2 Clash, 2 Elvis Costello. And he’ll be playing two extra brilliant records while I’m on😉

Search for ‘Brum Radio listen live’ if you fancy it.

Well, that was proper amateur hour by me. Oh well. I suppose I just prefer writing to live talking. You can edit writing. The laptop died. And then I thought it had died and it hadn’t. It’s so unnatural to me, I literally never use one.

I’m on from about 32 minutes I think, but he plays some great tunes before that.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book, Percy, and your interview. Brought back lots of memories about following our club in my youth (albeit a much more respectable one than that described in your novel). 

(Out of interest have you read "Mayflies" by Andrew O'Hagan? The bond there is music and football is only flettingly mentioned... I thoroughly recommend it).

Congratulations on such positive reviews.
