After a successful initial pitch, a friend of mine has been given the go ahead to develop a treatment for a potential BBC Wales/BBC Four documentary that will look at the Manic Street Preachers through their fans. He wants to explore parts of the fan culture and what impact the band's music and identity had on their fans and culture more generally. He's mainly focusing on the 90's.
He's keen to speak to people who were at gigs pre-1995 (and who can recollect those gigs), particularly The Astoria in 1994. He'd also like to speak to the people who helped set up this forum or contribute to it regularly, and people who were behind any of the bands fanzines back in the day.
