“There is no way I have the literary skills to describe that taste without sounding totally pretentious. But it is definitely the taste highlight of my life. It is up there with seeing The Clash at Eric’s on 5 May 1977 for great life-changing moments.”

The exemplary Quietus – our favourite music website by a country mile – have kindly run an extract from Bill Drummond’s On Nature contribution. It’s all about damsons, but, if you know Bill’s writing already, you’ll know it’s going to be about so much more than that. You can read the extract here.

Luke Turner – one of the Quietus’ founders/editors – will be in conversation with Martin Noble from British Sea Power about his contribution to On Nature next Weds at the Stag pub in Hampstead (also featuring Rob Penn, Nick Hand and Mike Carter). Click here for tickets details.
