R.I.P Steven Wells
June 25th, 2009 by Dave Allen
The world lost a wonderfully acerbic writer this week – Steven Wells. I knew Steve back in the late 70’s as he was friends with all of us in Gang of Four and was a regular contributor to the Leeds post-punk scene. In later years he wrote for the New Musical Press [fortunately before it became a shallow imitation of itself] and up until his death he had written a weekly column for the UK’s Guardian Newspaper.
Here is the Guardian’s farewell to him – in it are links to some of his best writing.
And here is another eulogy from Clash Music.
He will be missed.
