I grew up in Newcastle and in my teens I would to go to gigs on a regular basis. One week it would be Hawkwind the next Leonard Cohen or David Bowie or Black Sabbath, I was just this school kid who just soaked it all up. By the time punk started to emerge in 1977 I had taken an interest in photography, with an SLR camera and a makeshift darkroom in my bedroom.
It wasn't long before I became immersed in that environment and became involved in the start of a new Fanzine titled Deviation Street, it lasted for 3 issues which was about the average for fanzines then. In that time we managed to run features /reviews of local bands such as Penetration, Angelic Upstarts, Speed and The Mps (which I later joined) along with the likes of The Stranglers, Wire, The Ramones and more
