One of the best interview ever made it's that Nigel Cross had with Glen Sweeney for the English fanzine called "Unhinged". Published in Spring 1990, now out of print, it's a very long, deep excursion through the TEB glorious epic, with some interesting revelations about facts and people involved (& funny anedocts), that inspired my little book on the band titled "Necromancers of the drifting West", printed in 1997.
(Just a recommendation: not all the things Glen says are true or totally true, but it's all part of the TEB Glorious Epic...)

Classic stuff - many, many thanks for this Luca. There appears to a chunk missing in the overall chronology of Glen's inspired narrative - between Francesca Annis and Ron Kort. I'm assuming that's missing in the original too?
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I've done a big mess with the pages! Now it might be ok...
