Embedded Files
My guest this week is Sally Hamilton.
Like Gavin Morgan, my guest on Steve's Mix Tapes #003, I originally know Sally from the Wedding Present forum - and if you were paying attention to that episode, you might have worked out that she is Gavin's better half!
Sally has worked in education and publishing and is currently doing a PhD in English Literature. As well as 'alternative music culture', she lists her interests as First World War literature and art, hauntology, psychogeography, Gothic and the uncanny and dystopian literature - so I was all geared up for a highly intellectual discussion...
