Simon Williams

Simon Williams was born in Hackney in September 1965. He spent the final eleven years of the last century spitting out syllables and splitting infinitives at the NME, having worked out via the ’80s fanzine circuit that going to gigs and writing about music was much better than actually working. When he isn’t travelling across the Southeastern rail network seeking out old punk rockers in even older pubs he can be found in Stowmarket, in the middle of Suffolk, running the Fierce Panda record company into the ground.
