Will Sergeant’s just put out the second volume of his memoirs, both of them Sunday Times best-sellers, Echoes and the first edition, Bunnyman. Here he revisits the Liverpool of the ‘60s and ‘70s in extraordinary detail - the clothes, the records, the gangs, the school days, the early shows he saw - and the many reasons he wanted to form a band. On the agenda …
… ‘rockist’ cliches the Bunnymen detested.
… why America loved early ‘80s British groups.
… the powerful appeal of Jethro Tull, Status Quo, Slade, Roxy Music, the Sensational Alex Harvey Band and rock and roll theatre.
… clothes bought from NME small ads in the ‘70s.
… absurd rivalries with Simple Minds and the Jesus & Mary Chain.
… fond memories of David Thomas of Pere Ubu smashing a pig iron spike with a lump hammer.
… the ‘Porcupine’ cover shoot in Iceland.
… the charisma of the teenage Mac McCulloch.
… bands that borrowed from the Bunnymen.
… why the Ramones were “Status Quo with drainpipes”.
… and the magic ingredient that held Mac’s hair aloft.
