Pete Shelley's " I was nearly a Smith" Revelation on Ultra-Hip New York based East Village Radio!

Buzzcocks legendary frontman, Pete Shelley made quite an amazing statement during an interview with the ex-Smith, Mike Joyce on Mike's show today. When asked about a story that Johnny Marr had approached the singer, Pete backed up the story by saying, " I was at Legends (Manchester nightclub) in about 1981 and this kid came up to me and said, if you ever need a guitarist, I'm available...this kid it transpires was Johnny Marr. He also went on to reveal, " When I supported The Smiths at The Brixton Academy in 1986, he approached me again...I still haven't taken him up on his offer...yet!

Pete was being interviewed about Buzzcocks massive Stateside tour on Mike's show, The Coalition Chart Show on East Village Radio. Which features such luminairies as, Mark Ronson and Steve Lillywhite. The Chart which is compiled from all the independent record shops across the U.K. has The Fall in session next week.
