Our only TV interview for channel 4 with Tony Wilson and Mike Pickering

Mike Pickering sent in this shot of 3 men sitting on a bench outside the store in English, Texas back in the 1970s. English is near Clarksville in Red River County. This was taken by Mike's father-in-law and I love its dreamlike quality. Less than 50 yrs. ago but another world!

30 years ago today !

Traces of Texas reader Mike Pickering was so kind as to send in this nifty circa 1920 photo of the Liberty School south of Paris, Texas in southern Lamar County. Mike's grandmother was teaching here at this time. She's not pictured in the photo. They are playing badminton.

Mike Pickering(founder M People) was completely appalled... that this terrible government & this terrible women(Truss) used his song(Moving On Up) at #CPC22

A TV researcher has emailed me to ask me how the Hacienda gave birth to the rave revolution. I told him it started when Mike Pickering put 'Just be Good to Me' on at the wrong speed and Bez started waving at him to tell him and everyone joined in. This is the latest true fact.

Some clarity from the very wonderful Mike Pickering of
M People who co-wrote Moving on Up with Paul Heard.

About last night 💙⚽️
A great result & I got to share the evening with City legend Paul Dickov plus a few blue mates of mine. I’ve known Mike Pickering for years & we played at an MTV celebrity footy tournament in ‘94, which bought up some great memories 😉

#ToriesOut90
Truss used M People's 'Moving On Up'.
1. She should have checked the lyrics to the song.
2. She didn't get the required legal permission to use the song and
3. Mike Pickering, a founding member of the group, said: ‘I don’t want my song to be a soundtrack to lies’
