So this is just a wee post to introduce myself and what I'm hoping to do with this blog.
My name is Lewis and I'm a history student at the University of Glasgow. I come from Renfrew just outside Glasgow and became obsessed with indie music in my teenage years. Bands like Martha and the Spook School led me to discovering the 80's indie scene which I love to this day.
I've become interested in oral history over the past few years and I've decided to give it a go myself. Coming from the west of Scotland it felt apparent to me that the masculinity of the indie scene was miles apart from the stereotypical Glasgow 'hard man'. I want to use my project to explore this more and to discuss the experience of men in the indie scene further.
