Roger, playing drums with Sheffield post-punk band The Box, gets to visit the city of Prague in the former Czechoslovakia, and plays a secret gig. Along the way he meets rebels, students, rock 'n' rollers and artists, all trying to express themselves as individuals while living under an oppressive regime.

Roger has a rare night out at The Limit Club in Sheffield. Ostensibly to meet up with champion road warrior Chas Banks, who is shepherding young rockers Death Cult around the UK on their debut headline tour.
However, the Limit clientele has changed a bit since he was last down in the sweaty West Street basement, and Roger realizes he too is going through some changes.

Grab a cuppa and a biscuit 'cos this is a long one.
Roger is in Rotterdam for the very first Pandora's Music Box music festival at the super smart De Doelen venue.
Siouxsie and The Banshees headline but play first, which means poor, delicate Rog has to wait six hours before The Box take to the stage in the middle of the night.
Some tales here from a very long, but very memorable night.

A trip to London in the middle of a sweltering July heatwave sees Roger and his cohorts in Sheffield band The Box share a stage with The Fall.
Riding high on the recent release of their classic 'Hex Induction Hour', the Mancunian legends are in an uncomprising, take-no-prisoners mood.
Why would we expect anything else?

It's a big one. Roger takes a coach up to Scotland to see his first David Bowie concert.
For a distinctly personal take on what are some of Bowie's most well-documented shows; Roger mixes the events of the day itself with some of his memories of growing up as a teenage Bowie fan in Sheffield during the 1970s.
May cause offence to fans of Icehouse, Pilot and the population of Milton Keynes.

In which Roger and his bandmates in The Box find themselves in a heavy metal maelstrom on a Thursday night in Glasgow. Iron Maiden take no prisoners at the legendary Apollo Theatre en route to world domination. It's very loud, very sweaty and a just little bit silly, but as a baptism of fire into the world of heavy metal and the legion of devoted young fans, it's one not to be forgotten.

It's the start of a new year - 1983 - and Roger and his Sheffield pals in The Box find themselves in London playing with pop newcomers JoBoxers. These lads are on the fast track to fame and favour style over substance. With heavyweight management and a major record company behind them, will they go Pop before the bubble bursts?

Sheffield's grand old Lyceum re-opens for the second time in less than twelve months, and it falls to Cabaret Voltaire, who haven't played an official gig in their home city in over a year, to herald the resurrection.

Strange days in Sheffield back in the Spring of 1982.
On one hand, we are out shaking our funky butts to the sophisticated NYC street-hustlers Kid Creole and The Coconuts, down at the old Sheffield Poly building on Pond Street; while simultaneously trying not to think about the awful news emerging from the Falklands War on an almost daily basis.
As another New Yorker David Byrne said "this ain't no fooling around."

Mal himself guests to reflect on an exciting time of change and uncertainty in our home town.

Roger reflects on the tragic loss of former band mate Stephen "Judd" Turner, who passed away on September 29th, 1981, aged 24 years old. The same day as the narrator turned 21. Some weeks pass, and the mood is lifted by the irresistible afro-pop sizzle of Bow Wow Wow, live at the recently re-opened Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield.

Seconded by his employers to a mind-numbing admin job in the middle of nowhere, Roger and his work pal Mark take a trip to see Simple Minds live in Liverpool. Happily, Jim Kerr and his band are at the height of their grand metropolitan art-rock powers; touring the just-released 'Sons and Fascination' / 'Sister Feelings Call'.
