If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll put up a PDF.
Any feedback graciously received.
Please bear in mind I'm usually an editor, not a writer, so be kind!

(And: One quote that didn't make it into the piece which I loved...
"I've seen words connected with me in terms of describing me musically, especially in a live scenario. I've seen the words 'bluster,' 'boring' and 'burly,' all the fucking Bs connected with Bradfield. ... I suppose I'll have to take journalists word for it and assume that's my default setting."

Congratulations on this piece of writing! I really loved reading it. You asked for honest feedback - either use the word "fuck" or don't - writing f**k, f--k etc is so annoying - people know what it means, so either write "fuck" or completely eliminate it from the quote.
Anyway, a minor quibble about a brilliant piece of writing x
