Cult writer and Northampton’s most famous resident Alan Moore talks about his enduring passion for his home-town, why he’s never left and why he casts aside fame
The idea of Northampton as a person is an interesting one.And as with any person it has it's faults, it's in denial, it seeks what it wants not what it needs, it's jealous of MK it's younger and some say better looking brother; it destroyed it's own castle, became a byword for incompetent or corrupt leadership, and is also known as the most philistine of cultural sink holes.And yet....
I'll tell you, And yet...What a disguise? We are the veritable Sir Percy Blakeney of towns, our ridiculous posturing concealing what is really going on, and when someone like Alan points it out of course no one believes .
Great interview👏👏👏
