## Resource

As Ben says at the start of this episode, settle down by the fire for the stories and recollections of the wonderful, Paul Simpson. Paul is a legendary figure from the Liverpool post-punk scene, exemplified within the pages of his stellar memoire, Revolutionary Spirit. This episode comes with a money-back guarantee, no questions asked and if you don't buy Paul's book, the ghost of John Peel is coming round to break wind in your kitchen. Huge thanks to Paul for coming onto the show. Love and thanks, Ben and Steve xx REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT: A POST-PUNK EXORCISM The Wild Swans on Discogs Hosted on Acast.
