Spearmint - "Sweeping the Nation" (Hitback records). Email to
[email protected] 11.30 21/12/13. Hi, I've just finished the first
draft of my book about the five years I spent promoting various
genres of local music during 2002/2007 in and around Chorley,
Blackburn and Preston, Lancashire. It champions all the bands and
artists that never got to make it further than their hometown fan
base...and a few that did. I found your track "Sweeping the Nation"
on a Rough Trade CD and have been recommending it to anyone I
meet/know as the best song I have ever heard that sums up what my
book is about... I am 51 and Northern Soul was an influence on my
growing up and appreciation of musical styles. How clever of you to
combine the classic back beat sample with a list of the bands you
knew about that never made it and then bound it all together with
driving guitars and the thumping chorus of: "I've been wasting my
life I've finally realised I've wasted so much time.... My book has
made me understand that I didn't waste my life because I followed
my dream, stuck to what I believed in and have some wonderful
memories. I know what Mr Bradshaw meant in his words to Shirley as
everything I wanted in life has come true Thanks again and maybe
I'll get to one of your gigs in the New Year. "I wanna hear you on
that " John Winstanley. About the author. John Winstanley was born
