THE AUTHORS... SCOTTY HUGHES and CHRISTIAN BONK are eager to get your input in the form of stories, anecdotes, photographs, concert posters, newspaper clippings, all manner of memorabilia. The book is intended to be a visual history as well as a written one – so please start digging into those memorabilia collections – we'd love to see what you have from days gone.
