"We Didn't Find Punk, Punk Found Us"

Steve Lamacq

Available for over a year

We hear from Beggars Banquet founder Martin Mills about the early days of the label, and signing Beggars' first act, The Lurkers. Steve then has an in-depth interview with the pioneering punk band, and hears their side of the story. From rehearsing in a basement alongside Generation X, to playing 11 minute gigs and getting life advice from Screaming Lord Sutch.
