“England’s best-loved and most eccentric astronomer, Sir Patrick Moore, has died aged 89 at his home in Sussex. In a rather disturbing coincidence, The Chap had sent Michael “Atters” Attree to interview Sir Patrick just weeks ago for the current edition, and this has turned out to be the great astronomer’s final interview.” Issue 66, 2012
Sir Patrick at home.
I wrote the following obituary (issue 67, 2013) of The Chap (click article to read).
Click the above to read.
Atters Attree interviews beat poet Michael Horovitz at his West London home and discusses his mescaline taking friendship with William Burroughs, beatnik movements, the 60s, art and cup cakes.
Full interview in issue 65 (Oct/Nov 2012: The Well- Dressed Beatnik edition) of The Chap magazine (along with Atters’ usual paranormal column and hirsute musings in The Lip Weasel). Online edition also available from The Chap website.
Bit of an odd one this… Not exactly sure what it was all about exactly – but it was all jolly fun shooting up North for a few days and the crew were very kind. I play the lead (as George the Magician) and I rather like the creepy atmosphere. It was made for ELIA and awarded a special commendation at the international broadcasting festival: Prix Europa 2012 (Berlin).
