This is a big one.

Back in 2015, my book, Do It Yourself: a History of Music in Medway was published.

It covered the story of bands and artists who emerged in the area from 1976 through to what was then the present day.

This episode of "Songs in the Key of..." features extensive readings from the book with tales from Billy Childish (with reference to The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, Thee Headcoats), Graham Day (The Prisoners), Lupen Crook, Bob Collins (The Dentists), David Read (The Claim) and many others.

Time is running out if you want to buy your own copy of the book. You have until 30 June 2023 when the presses will stop running on it!
