Wall of Glam


 Alvin Stardust. Big in Rochdale apparently

I've just finished listening to a fascinating little documentary on Radio 4 about Rochdale street artist Walter Kershaw. In the 1970s, armed with his paint brushes, he'd set his scaffold up against a gable end and create giant murals; it made me wonder how the troubles might have played out if Kershaw had relocated his business across the Irish Sea.

  2. Alvin Stardust was old enough to be Marc Bolan's dad.
