Ah, thanks!

And thanks for coming to the launch. Hope you enjoyed it. It was a fun night.

Great, thank you!

Sad you couldn't have been there! It was a perfect evening.

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social walking down the NME office on the 25th at the King’s Reach Tower in March 1990. To the right I am walking past my face obscured by a magazine. Maybe I was having a bad hair day?
