'This potty, audacious gem is defiantly atypical, more a dystopian novel, odyssey or psychogeography treatise than an off-the-peg music biography.'

Nice one Andy. It means a lot.

Andy Tattersall @andytattersall.bsky.social · May 8

I've written a review of @coldtapfilms.bsky.social superb Studio Electophonique book for @nowthenmag.bsky.social about Sheffield's legendary studio run by Ken Patten and the embryonic emergence of Sheffield's electronic music scene. It is a wonderful read.

Now Then magazine @nowthenmag.bsky.social · May 8

"There’s always been an edge to Sheffield’s music scene... yet, as we find out via Jamie Taylor’s (@coldtapfilms.bsky.social) excellent investigative work, a large part of those musical foundations were laid in a suburban house in the early 1960s"

Cheers to @leahkardos.bsky.social for the kind review in @thewiremagazine.bsky.social . I set out to write a ‘layered meditation on memory, obscurity and sonic heritage’ and now I have. Boom!

Cheers Roger. Great to meet you. Hope you enjoyed The Brown Bear.

Roger Quail @rogerquail.bsky.social · May 3

I had a really good evening at the Sheffield launch of Jamie Taylor's splendid book about unsung local hero Ken Patten, & the part he played in the early days of S. Yorkshire's electronic music scene.
Also delighted my podcast got a mention in the acknowledgements, happy to have been a part of it.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Sheffield Central Library book launch on Wednesday in semi-tropical conditions. Hope you’ve all rehydrated.

Thanks to Philippe Dufour for the amazing photos.

Jamie Taylor @coldtapfilms.bsky.social · Apr 25

Correct! It’s the Rates Hall, ruled over by a peaked cap guardian in much the same way as Lloyd the bartender kept an eye on The Overlook Hotel.

Jamie Taylor @coldtapfilms.bsky.social · Apr 24

If you’re coming along to the SOLD OUT event at Sheffield Central Library next Wednesday, snap up one of our commemorative A3 art prints for the downstairs bog. Special prize if anyone can name the Kubrick-style interior.
