Lamacq Attack

As Shaun Ryder may or may not have said, “If you remember the 90s, you weren’t really there.” Fortunately, one man who witnessed the highs and lows of Britpop, Steve Lamacq, can remember. His live show — Going Deaf For A Living — is a must for anyone who fondly recalls a time when the biggest news story was Blur vs Oasis, rather than, you know, the possible end of the world. And Lamacq, now 53, has the battle scars to prove it. A continuation of Lamacq's 2000 book — the show will see the DJ regale the Glee Club with tales of the reinvention of Blur, the rise of the Gallagher Brothers, the joys of live music and much more.  Such was the clout of Lamacq and his Evening Sessions show on Radio 1 that he could break practically any band going. Even Menswear. Forget Donald Trump: that’s real power. On November 14 — this way for tickets.
