THE BLUES BAND - 35 Years and Back for More Paul Jones, Dave Kelly, Tom McGuinness, Rob Townsend and Gary Fletcher. Many of the Blues Band's 21st century fans weren't even born when these five virtuosos, already music industry veterans, decided to fly in the face of musical fashion in 1979 and form a band 'just to play the blues'. No one could have predicted that, 35 years on, they'd still be dazzling audiences with their showmanship and virtuosity. About 20 albums and thousands of gigs later, they've earned a reputation around the world as one of the finest exponents of the blues...
We thought dance class was good, we thought dance class was English. We were wrong. Now we see you are fully English, because you argue with your parents. In Bangladesh this wouldn’t happen. Well you’ve done what we never could. You’ve left Bangladesh behind.

The nervous excitement was palpable, like when cows go in fields for the summer. We discussed why everyone should paint daily, why the government were rubbish and how all homophobes and racists should be persecuted to the ends of this earth and sterilised. I was really doing it, I was finally a smug little bellend. I chain-smoked rollups and lit them with a match. One girl started screaming. This was the night I met Joe.
Ensuite is a coming of age story, following the macbook-toting avant garde of Shoreditch, and Hugh’s attempt to become one (he doesn’t quite manage). From the...
