Michael Head: Back From The Brink

[Ming-8L]

In the end, he says, the support of those around him pulled him through. “The lads in the band, they’re so chilled and turned on, and were there for me, from top to toe, emotionally.”
There is, he says, no going back: “There’s far, far too much to lose. Now I’ve actually got the opportunity to put my money where my mouth is.”

Has music saved him? Head is emphatic: “Yes, completely, definitely. I feel for people who are coming into stopping drinking or drugs – you do need something to fall into and I was lucky to have the guitar.

“I’ll always say that. Without the guitar I’d probably be fucked. It’s a piece of wood in the corner. It’s not much but it’s something.”

Thanks for this!

New LP is great.

Yeah, seconded. I just heard it on Apple Music. Deluxe version has a live gig on it where they play at least half of Waterpistol. Takes him a second to warm up, but then plain sailing for the set. I cannot believe how good the production is. Bill Ryder-Jones was great in the Coral, but it seems like producing might be more up his alley.

Keep waiting for Lee to do something like this.
