London in the 80s Indie music milieu, a network linked to me (i.e. yours truly John Cook)

Been getting ready for my conference talk next week (*) and have knocked out a map with photos, as you do. Open My Map link below, has photos associated to locations. The map is called ‘London in the 80s Indie music milieu’. This bohemian milieu was typified by a socially unconventional network of squats and housing coops, and often included those involved in Indie music. The map shows bands I was in, or that I felt a connection with like Furious Pig (I wasn't in them, but I was in bands with all other people shown); if a band member went off and did other stuff that is shown too: a sort of expanding network linked to me (i.e. yours truly John Cook)!!
