Critics Review
Miranda Sawyer was at the heart of the golden era … and bears thrilling yet thoughtful witness to the oddity andambition of the awkward outsiders who briefly got the nation humming their tunes, equally enthralled by the usual headliners and unclubbable mavericks like Keith Flint, Tricky and P.J. Harvey
