UNCUT magazine February 2018 Keith Richards Malcolm Young Prince The Sweet

UK UNCUT magazine February 2018 - Brand New Condition.

The new issue of Uncut, dated February 2018, is out on December 21, and features Britain’s great lost venuesKeith RichardsBuffalo Springfield and our 2018 albums preview.

Our lost venues feature is on the cover, and inside, Ray DaviesBryan FerryPete Townshend and more recall 50 beloved hotspots large and small – from The Silver Thread Hotel in Paisley to Cornwall’s Folk Cottage.

“I feel for new bands,” explains Davies. “There’s nowhere for them to learn their trade. The 100 Club is the last of that type of venue left. There aren’t many places where a musician is allowed to be bad; they have to be programmed and efficient.”

In a new interview, Keith Richards looks back at The Rolling Stones‘ ’60s BBC sessions and forward to the group’s next tour and plans for 2018 – “I think there’s a tour in the works,” he tells Uncut. “I miss the old joint.”

Richie Furay tells the story of Buffalo Springfield, a band of five exceptional talents – Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Bruce Palmer, Dewey Martin and Furay. “We thought we had no competition but The Beatles,” he explains. “We had the songs, we had the singers, we had the talent. We just didn’t have someone to help hold us together.”

In our 2018 albums preview, Paul WellerFather John MistyKim DealMy Bloody ValentineJosh Pearson and many more discuss their upcoming releases for the year ahead. “I’ve been getting a little bit more reflective,” says Weller. “But not for too long.”
