Television Personalities : Diary

JC Brouchard’s recently unearthed Diary of a young fan covers the years 1981 to 1984.
It charts his adventures from his student bedroom upstairs at his grandparents’ in deepest France to the Living Room concerts promoted by Creation Records in London.
Most importantly, it acts as a tribute to Television Personalities, Dan Treacy’s band. Over more than thiry years, from Part time punks to She’s my Yoko, they have released multiple DIY pop gems and influenced several generations of musicans, from British noisy pop anglaise to US lo-fi.
