Generating Steam Heat radio show 20.02.18 (Gail Thilbert 'Soap The Stamps, Jump The Tube' special)

On this weeks show we have an interview with Gail Thibert about her new book ‘Soap The Stamps, Jump the Tube’

Gails book takes a look at the early 80s UK punk scene centred around her life in London and her  experiences as a member of the anarcho punk band Lost Cherrees. The book also takes in squatting, paganism, her life after punk and much more besides…

‘Soap The Stamps, Jump the Tube’ is due to be published in April by Unbound and can be orderd here.

Many thanks to Gail, Gerard Evans for conducting the interview and Sharon Brown for her help along the way.
