So what are you planning on doing on Valentine’s day afternoon, this Sunday? Don’t answer. Here’s what you should be doing. Listening to Family of Rock’s own Gavin Martin on Resonance FM 104.4. in an interview by Henry Scott-Irvine going out between 3.00 and 4.00. Here’s the blurb:

Gavin Martin (formerly Feature Writer & Film Critic at The NME, and now The Daily Mirror’s Music Editor) discusses ‘The Family Of Rock’ aka Pete Frame’s (legendary) ‘Rock FamilyTrees’, which were hand drawn, written, and researched by former ZigZag ‘Rock Journalist’ Pete Frame. Gavin and Henry Scott-Irvine discuss, the followiing ‘Trees’: ‘London’s 60’s Ryhthm & Blues Scene’, ‘Birmingham’s 60’s Beatsters’, ‘CBGB’s & New York’s New Wave’, ‘Creation Records’ Tree’, ‘Madchester’s Music Scene’, ‘Belfast’s 60’s Scene’, and more.

THere's gold in them thar Trees as Gavin Martin is mining it at Resonance Thought this beautiful rendering of Pete's Flowers Of Romance Tree, gold inlaid with Will Self's text, for our St Martins Exhibition last year, seemed appropriate

I can’t help myself adding that I did a talk on Resonance last year about the American political philosopher John Rawls. It is now available to download as a 43 minute ringtone.
