The Light Pours Out Of Him: In Praise of John McGeoch

It’s not inaccurate to call John McGeoch one of the patron saints of this here blog, because my excitement at discovering the Magazine/Siouxsie & The Banshees/Public Image Limited guitarist a few years ago and wanting to talk about him to, well, anyone/no one, was one of the reasons I started blogging again – it took […]

Spellbound – The Story of John McGeoch
John McGeoch by Peter Noble
