    Hi Mike. Did you ever see The Smiths live? I’m a British music writer and I am looking to trace people who saw them or worked with them for a people’s history of The Smiths. I’d love to hear your memories.


    • Hi there Richard, Thanks for getting in touch. I’m afraid I never saw the Smiths live. To be honest they were never favs of mine but what they achieved in Manchester was quite remarkable. Good luck with your endeavours. Best wishes. Mike S
