Caught him a few years ago at a bizarre gig in Canterbury and know his London agent. Sad but he wants a well man. It was a pleasure to have seen him a few times, always different! Hadn't realised he had been a local.
Stewart Lee, who I have seen numerous times, played a gig 18 months ago in Peckham, turning up late and doing around 12 mins of an expected headliner slot. He has no social media presence and is uncontactable. I complained to the ticket agents and promoters to no avail.
Obviously I wouldn't boycott a paper due to this incident. With hard copy print declining more liberal media need support irrespective of how easy it is to pick holes. The decline of regional and local papers has compounded the issue of so many drawing their information from the right wing/populist press, and unverified reports on social media.
