Graham Smith Talks 'We Can Be Heroes Book' On Robert Elms Radio Show Today

Graham Smith will be appearing on the Robert Elms show on BBC London 94.9 FM today at 12.40pm to talk about the forthcoming book “We Can Be Heroes”.

“After two years’ slog I’ve finally finished my book ‘We Can Be Heroes – London Clubland 1976-84’. It’s based around 400 photographs I took at nightclubs back in the day, from Billy’s and The Blitz via Le Beat Route and the Mud club to the Dirt Box and the Wag.”

Gary Kemp has written a great foreword along with Boy George and Steve Strange. Chris Sullivan has written a brilliant warts‘n’all main text and Robert Elms has contributed an introduction.

Beautifully designed over a stompin’ 320 pages, it’s the definitive record of this fascinating and influential period of youth sub culture, produced by people who were actually there in the thick of it. With plenty of photographs of Spandau Ballet

For the book I’ve interviewed more than 60 familiar ‘faces’ and captioned the photography with 500 of their quotes, from Sade to Philip Sallon. You’ll also find playlists from all the clubs, plus charts plotting the rise and evolution of the scene.”
