RIP Andy Kershaw, longtime champion of #HMHB, who he called 'the most authentic British folk band since The Clash' . Pictured with the band in his garden, when they recorded a Kitchen Session for his podcast. (Thanks to John Burscough via FB, who took the photo.)

From the archives; an early #HMHB interview from Smash Hits 1986, source of the quote from Nigel that he's always either watching TV or 'listening to me Fall records.' Thanks to Brian McCloskey on Facebook.
