Article in Q (online magazine) about THE END Book

The End Book- Tops December Best selling list

Waterstones have confirmed that The End Book is the best selling book in Liverpool in the build up to Christmas 2011 (Beating Jamie Oliver into 2nd Place)

Thank you to everyone for buying it. Its made us very rich

End Intro- Phil Jones. Unedited version

The Curse of The END

The End started around 1981, I’d met Peter Hooton a few times through mutual, like minded friends. The 1st time I met him was at a legendary mini bus excursion into Manchester, where a mini mob of us were attempting to geg into a Jam gig at the Manchester Apollo (A couple of us met Paul Weller a few days earlier at a Liverpool gig and he said he’d get us in through the stage door if we turned up at Manchester. So of course about 20 of us squeezed into a mini bus and set off. Weller took one look at us and shot into the stage door before we’d shouted, “oi! Well….”
I’ve never forgiven the cunt. What followed that evening was intended to be written and published in a Mod fanzine I was writing at the time with (ex deputy lord Mayor of Liverpool), Steven Rotherham. “Time for Action” However I was soon to be accosted by smooth Talking, man about town, Peter Hooton at one of his orgy like house parties. With drink, and women, he seduced this vulnerable young man and talked me into packing in my thriving Mod Fanzine adventure and to join a joint adventure… a fanzine with a new focus, a never before seen Local worldview, based around Music (good music like, no shite!) Football, gigs, local pubs and clubs, and the new scallie fashion (not “casual”) / terrace culture.

I succumbed. I shelved “Time For Action” (preventing the manuscript from the night at the Apollo shenanigans ever seeing the light of day) and THE END was born

I was more interested in the music and the footy and so combined being a co-editor, with doing Album, singles, local Demo tape reviews and Introductions, as well as contributing to various things like the In’s & Outs, fake letters, blag Poems, and personal ads etc. I also did a large proportion of the layouts by hand!. (In those days “cutting and pasting” was done with a scalpel and spray glue. It was a fuckin arduous task).

The things that made The End both unique and popular (more popular than all its then contempories like “Breakout” and “Merseysound”) were the fictitious characters like “Joe Wag”, “Dosser”, “Billy no mates” etc…. In Peter Hooton, Mick Potter and Kevin Sampson The End had stumbled upon some of the most cutting, funny cynical writers of that time.

So, getting talked out of writing my little mod fanzine and joining The End proved to be a brilliant success!
err….well, not in a business sense, like. We basically covered the cost of the printing and spent any (very minor) profits on regular staff benders. The staff grew to include John Potter, Tony McClelland and Paul Need. We also discovered a great match day ritual of selling the fanzine inside the pubs around Anfield and Goodison on a weekly basis..(Well, I say weekly basis, The End wasn’t exactly punctual. I think one time we only got round to producing one edition in the whole year). Selling The End in the pubs around Anfield and Goodison on match days paid our entry fee to the match and then the post match benders.

So to the curse of The End.well there were obvious ones right from the off. In the first edition, The lad who designed our 1st ever front cover committed suicide. We reviewed The Specials..within weeks they split….the same fate befell almost everyone we cared to big up…and always within weeks. The Undertones, Madness, The Beat, The Clash!! It got quite eerie! We Interviewed Alexei Sayle at the height of his fame…and within weeks he became SHITE and has been on obnoxious cunt ever since (“Great bus journeys of our time”? where did yer get that one Alexi’?) However, The Curse could also be sneaky…. my biggest disappointment was that, despite reviewing “U2” they stayed together and went on to rule the world and all religions.

We then became the focus of local media and police attention (our phones were tapped) after the Hysel disaster and a CS gas attack on Ron Atkinson’s then Manchester United team.

Also, I would point out that when I began writing the End, I was in a relationship, I was thin, I had a memory that actually worked, I had hair, and I was drug free. Oh, how that changed over the next decade! Damn that curse!

Of course, it wasn’t all bad news. One of the highlights of being co-editor of the End was getting to interview and meet a lot of our heroes. Meeting John Peel and developing a friendship with him was a one of the highlights of my life. I had been writing to John Peel via his Radio 1 show from my days with “Time For Action”. He’d always announce when a new edition (all two) was out. I carried on with the tradition and sent him every copy of The END from Issue one. But this time John took a real shine to the fanzine and really related to the humour and would promote The End constantly, to the point of wearing our naff tee shirts when he was hosting top of the pops.

We agreed to meet to do an interview with him (A fuckin candid and strikingly honest interview at that). At that first meeting. He got a bit merry and kept reminiscing about when he’d met me in Paris before the 1981 European Cup Final and told me tales of what we got up to and spoke about in Paris. .........problem was, I hadn’t even been in Paris!
He turned out to be such a lovely man. He More than lived up to his reputation and beyond. To me John Peel is synonymous with The End. He helped promote us and gave us national credibility.

Despite the ups and downs- I’ll always remember those times with great fondness and especially for the fact that writing the End allowed me to meet great people, like Madness, Alan Bleasdale, Simple Minds, Mick Jones, The Undertones.....(even Fish from marrillion!?) etc but most of all, John Peel.

I hope that anyone reading this collection remembers it fondly. Some of it may not have aged well, but I believe The End changed the way people wrote and spoke of things that hadn’t been spoken about before. But PLEASE don’t blame us for “chav”!

Love and peace....But no autographs


Phil Jones

End Book- Liverpool Echo-Paddy Shennan comments- Nov 23

HINDSIGHT is a wonderful thing – and the passage of time can add enormous interest to what was said and written in years gone by.
Don’t just read interesting interviews with interesting people around the time they took place – wait a few decades and see how much better they are!
The publication of The End book – every issue of the groundbreaking 1980s fanzine edited by Peter Hooton, Phil Jones and Mick Potter – gives people the chance to do just that.
It wasn’t all about bad spelling and the chronic misuse of apostrophes – there were large helpings of humour and some fascinating interviews, which are even more fascinating all these years on.Read More http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/columnist/2011/11/23/paddy-shennan-did-people-really-say-these-things-100252-29823383/#ixzz1eZ3ImB9b

The End Book Is Finally here

It was the first terrace fanzine, the godfather of the football fanzines but still dressed in punk's cut and paste graphics. We're re-issuing them in one volume and there's a chance you can be in it.


Jesus this has taken a long time. 20 years in fact. If you’ve never seen The End now’s your chance to find out about a unique chapter in British publishing history. Long before casual was ever really recognised as a youth cult a group of Liverpudlians created a home-made fanzine capturing life on the streets of their city, the local music and political scenes, and not forgetting the terraces. It was very funny, very roughly laid out and very popular. Its greatest champion was John Peel who would regularly name check the magazine on his Radio One show and also invited the editors onto national television to discuss their cult fanzine.

Hardcore fans of The End have been badgering the former editors to bring out a best of for decades. Now Sabotage Times and adidas have come together to help them finally produce one volume with every issue in it. The book will include every Ins and Outs list, every music interview, every letters page, every one of the classic End illustrations but it can also feature you. For the next two weeks whilst we’re laying the final pages out and trying to get Peter Hooton’s essays about music and trainers down to a publishable length we’re giving you the opportunity to have your name or message in a special Friends of The End Page. All you have to do is be amongst the first purchasers of the book, which you can do by hitting the paypal button ‘Buy Now’ above this article on the Sabotagetimes website. Once you’ve paid send us your name or message to sabotage@sabotagetimes.com with THE END as the email’s subject.
In addition to all 20 issues there’ll also be a new Ins & Outs list, the memories of the three editors, and various other articles from contributors and admirers. This week we’ll be putting up a gallery of images from the magazine but this is the first opportunity to buy the book.
The book itself costs £20 plus £7.50 P&P for the 400 plus pages to come winging it’s way to you first class. The book will be published mid October and if you order now will be with you within the next 28 days.

The Trestles. What Do You see

CD review; The Trestles. What do you see

The Trestles are, Alan o’hare, Tom Carroll, Howard Northover, Michael Tetlow, Ben Godfrey and Ian lewis. They happen to hail from Liverpool…its hard to imagine they could come from anywhere else.
Ive spoken to and corresponded with Alan o’hare in the past when he had a day job with our local rag, the Echo. He was very kind and very helpful.

For me, this puts me in an awkward position when opting to review a CD by his band of brothers. See I really struggle to be critical, in public about people I know. I'm happy to tell them face to face when something isn't to my taste, but to put my opinion in the ether as a guide whether people should purchase leaves me uneasy. Its why I didn’t pursue a career in music jounalism...that.. and that fact that i am a crap writer... Truth is, I’m just not ruthless enough to slag something off produced by people I like..and I’m too honest to praise something that I think is crap.

I’d only heard “sing on” a couple of times (on The End Blog, ironically) and was undecided. So what a relief it was when the first track burst into life and the opening line sneered, “I wanna drink of water from a mountain stream…….. I wanna policeman’s daughter to notice me “…..I just knew the next 45 minutes or so where going to be joyous.

The Trestles take you back to the days when bands had something to say that reflects the life and times around them. The sleeve notes give a nod of thanks and acknowledgement to Joe Strummer and Christy Moore amongst others and that sets the tone nicely. The album is chocker block with heartfelt anthems with fist pumping sing-along chorus’s. To to describe their sound as Pop or rock doesn’t cover it…I’m reminded at times of the past Liverpool twangs of Shack, Wylie, the La’s,... crossing over with Dylan and the Charlatans later American leanings (Hammond organ and all..and who can resist a bit of Hammond organ on a summers day?),. A heady mix for this humble narrator.

The Album opens up with the uplifting aforementioned “Drink of water”, which prepares you for the lyrical styling’s to come. The Folky acoustic guitar gives way to a fine old rocking tune,“I wanna hear the singer sing me a song. I want blood on my fingers to stain this guitar. I want Christy Moore to sing me to sleep. I want a bang on the door to bring me some peace” and it carries on in an inspiring pace. When I got to track 3, the aforementioned “Sing on”, I'd gained a new perspective of the song...Amongst its musical brothers the song now stood out and grabbed me by the throat. Beautifully arranged, the song starts with a great acoustic riff and vocals, it's a rousting sing along song about love and hate and the very struggles of life.. ..”let me tell you a little tale about a man about a man I met last night, singing on my favourite streets, looking for a fight. Not the type of fight you think I mean..no kicks no fists, no knives in sight, just a fight to save your heart and souls and send you home feeling alright”. It’s a perfect song for the summer of 2011 and has me perplexed as to why this city hasn't taken the Trestles to their hearts (yet) instead of the likes of fey, unwitty scouse wannabe’s like the Wombats.
The album is full of songs in similar vein. “The Civilised” takes a rockier route . "The Boy up North" takes it to slower acoustic lament while "Maggies Farm" ventures in that Americana sound, (stirring memories of the underrated Green on Red) whilst the lyric’s remain undoubtedly working class England. “Ghost of redundancy” is unerringly current..(the guitar in this reminds me of a track from Half man Half buisuit back in the DSS album) the words go, “All shut down again, its de ja vu again". We all, surely get that.
Other stand out tracks are “Everything I know” (you can imagine a lot of people choosing to turn this song when they lose their Fathers... An unashamed tribute to the writer’s auld feller.

“Thirty”, puts me in mind of an 80’s mod anthem (the Chords anyone?) about growing old and the closing track, “This House” is another out and out song about lost love.
There are no duff tracks.

For all its Gaelic verbal nods and occasional Americana What do you see manages to remain essentially English…northern English, at that, and thoroughly inspiring and entertaining. I love it

Memories of Billy Bullshitters-Dave Heymans

For a while you used top run a item on bullshitters in The End . I never got around to sending this one in , but it was inspired by the item . It was about a tales of some of the bullshitters we know or used to know , there were some crackers in The End . But heres mine . I must stress that for confidentiality reasons , none of the names have been changed , and i still see all named parties from time to time .I was serving my time as an apprentice joiner @ Wimpey trainning college in Bridle Rd , Bootle , and me and my mate Ste were finding it hard trying to keep a straight face listening to this cunts lies all the time . But we didnt ever bother pulling him up because we used to like the buzz of trying to catch him out . Me and Ste used to have scooters at the time and the bullshitter had said he used to ride out with Cloud 9 scooter boys from over the water . Well we used to know that these were a bunch of twats from Birkenhead who used to rob you Mirrors , or any other fuckin thing off your Lammy , when you used to go to Len Turners scooter shop in Rock Ferry .One of us used to stay outside while the rest went in to ensure we wernt getting one of those Crosville buses home through the tunnel . Well we new that Barnsey was lying about this fictional friendship with the twats from the one eyed city . So over a sausage and egg on toast the plan was hatched . It was a monday morning and we were all saying what we got up to over the weekend . We told Barnsey that we had a ride over to New Brighton with the Cloud 9 and had the craic with them all . We discribed plenty of them , complete with type of scooter , pillion passenger etc . But by putting it into words does not do the tale full justice . There were tears rolling down are cheeks , as we were turning away from each other as Barnsey answered each question as to did he know each and every one of the fictional members of the Cloud 9 . We had to stop in the end because we were unable to speak through the tears . But it was our loss as he had sussed us out and the bullshittery stopped or at least went down to a lesser level . cheers enders
