Gavin Hogg Author

Gavin Hogg was born in 1970 and bought his first zine (Perturbed) in 1987. He went on to produce two issues of his own zine, Bag of Tricks and Candy Sticks, in the early nineties. A former contributor to The Word, Gavin now maintains a blog about the much-missed magazine, as well as co-hosting the Giddy Carousel of Pop podcast. He owns every album the Fall ever made. Hamish Ironside was born in Reading in 1971. He works as a freelance editor, and runs Boatwhistle Books as a labour of love. He produced five issues of his Saudade fanzine in the nineties, and has recently published three more issues of it, including one printed on a rusty old Gestetner, just to see if it could be done. He owns every album the Thrills ever made.
