The Legend that is Steve Lamacq comes to The Dublin Castle for Rock N Roll Book Club care of Bug Bear – from being Attila the Stockbroker‘s roadie to early fanzine triumphs, the former NME scribe discovered so many hot bands in the post punk/indie diaspora he had to go on and set up the very respectable Deceptive Records. From his superb roster there (Elastica, Scarfo, Earl Brutus, Collapsed Lung)to being THE BBC Radio 6 Music drive time staple (can you imagine anyone else in that slot?- ‘course not)….. and thus to Going Deaf for a Living, his long awaited memoir. It’s excellent is the word on the street. Diarize baby.
