Tonight I type this with tears in my eyes and sadness in my heart on the news that the great Peter Campbell McNeish more commonly known as Pete Shelley, lead singer and guitarist of our beloved Buzzcocks has sadly died earlier today of a heart attack in Estonia where he now lives. My heartfelt condolences go out to Peter's Family his current band mates Steve Diggle, Danny Farrant, Chris Remington and all of his former bandmates, friends and fans worldwide. I last spoke to Pete at an event in Manchester earlier this year, a wonderful man who will be sorely missed by us all. Peter Campbell McNeish RIP 1955-2018
Fans of Howard Devoto and Buzzcocks, Magazine, Luxuria, welcome. I've been a fan of Howard's work and that of his bandmates who inspired me to become a concert photographer and set up www.shotfrombothsides.co.uk and my love of punk/post punk. No money is made from this blog nor is it linked officially to Howard or any of the related bands or individual members. This is just one man's obsession in blog form, nothing more. If you don't like any of it. Well, that's your loss, not mine.
