Shindig! 18 – September-October 2010 Out Now

With FREE 21-track download and FREE Happening! magazine

Getting a cover of a magazine is always hard, but with #18’s The Birds’ cover everyone here at HQ is extremely happy. Inside, alongside a juicy interview with Birds’ singer Ali McKenzie, we offer something equally as well rounded on US garage gods The Remains. For many that would be a good enough a reason to rush to the shops, but we’ve gone beyond the gauntlet with this one, as we throw in delightfully lengthy pieces on 1979 mods The Purple Hearts, Swedish ’60s pop royalty Tages and an in-depth look at the Swinging Stevenage (!) flick Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush. Shorter, but no less informed articles, on Papa John’s prodigies Jamme, the lovely Sandy Denny, Elektra experimentalist David Stoughton, heavy weight trippers Sainte Anthony’s Fyre and even a dash of fine new music in the form of the elfin Bart Davenport and eccentrics The Smiles & Frowns. Finally, the icing on the cake has to be our brilliant 20 Questions with The Lovin’ Spoonfuls’ John B Sebastian. Phew!!!!

DUFFY POWER

Brian Duffy, along with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, was responsible for some of the '60s' most iconic photographic images, not to mention turning the perception of the fashion photographer on its head.
