Steve Diggle of the Buzzcocks remembers the day “a terrible beauty was born”.

- Steve Diggle met Pete Shelley when the Pistols played Manchester in 1976 and the Diggle-fronted Buzzcocks are now on a world tour that began in Mexico and takes in North and South America, Europe and Australasia before winding up at the 100 Club where they played the Punk Festival 48 years ago - “we’ve come full circle”. He looks back here at the first shows he saw and played himself and talks about Silverhead, Status Quo, Leo Sayer dressed as a clown, George Best, the Groundhogs, The History of Mr Polly by HG Wells, the Buzzcocks as “Lennon and McCartney in a blender”, “Led Zeppelin for Comprehensive schoolkids, Deep Purple for Grammar schoolkids” and a great story about Patrick Moraz of Yes with a bank of keyboards like a telephone exchange and an alpine horn.

Great to see Steve. The first three albums are about as good as it gets for me. Also, the band who for me wrote the best and sharpest late 70s pop singles. "Love You More" is 105 seconds of sheer perfection.
I loved going to the Stoneground...
He is a beautiful soul.
Seeing the Buzzcocks in 2 weeks (September 29, 2024) in Bozeman, MT and I’m very excited!
Seeing Buzzcocks in a few weeks in Hong Kong
Love this interview, Steve seems really well. Looking forward to his new book. Love is lies is a great tune.
Buzzcocks one the best bands ever ! Steve great bloke ! ☘️
I love Buzzcocks! I’ve been listening to them since Spiral Scratch came out.
Best interview ever!
Good interview i still love Buzzcocks! Liverpool had it's own scene going on as well even before Sex Pistols played Eric's with groups like Deaf School and Spitfire Boys ( Pre Frankie goes to Hollywood members)
Steve Diggle,great songwriter and very nice guy.Good one again!
Pete Shelley’s songs were the best.
Does Diggle come with subtitles??? God love em still going 😊
Great songs undoubtedly live on, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to tour with only one remaining member...
... tell that to JJ Burnel of The Stranglers ... just celebrated a 50 Yr anniversary with a Tour and will be joined by The Buzzcocks in Aug in the 7,500 capacity Piece Hall in Halifax.
Steve can get better bookings using the name and at least was a founder, songwriter and singer on some tracks. Cannot fault him as he loves to play and could use some cash.
@glennm2000 No, that would be Colin Blunstone & Rod Argent
@glennm2000 Joke = Blunstone & Argent are in a band called “The Zombies.”
First class 👍
I haven't seen them since Pete died. I am looking forward to it, though. Took time to come around, but I love diggles material
