Frank Bough, Lemmy, Jonathan Wilkes, Bruno Brookes, Nick Hancock…. The names trip off the tongue, these megalithic mythic mega stars of the Potteries-based firmament.

Gay Footworker blue ribbon in 1995. More than a DJ, a producer, a remixer, a Port Vale supporter, a polymath, a polyglot, a polygon, a polly put the kettle on. More than any of that.
