Written with a cutting perceptiveness akin to Hunter S. Thompson, and with Anthony Bourdain's ability to nose out juicy metaphors and similes, Woo! is a satisfying read. Like that venerable punk bible, Please Kill Me, or Henry Rollins' hallowed tome, Get in the Van, Woo! is equal parts how-to DIY guide and spiritual helpmeet for the souls of the moshers, the music-addled and the amp-deafened. Woo! is a free-wheeling gonzo history of the last ten-plus years of south London's fertile music scene. Ingrid Jensen (Totally Wired Magazine) I have always wondered what it would've been like to live on lower east side Manhattan in 1976 and hang out with the Ramones, Television, Talking Heads and Patti Smith. Having read Woo!, I realise I already know. Dan Carey (Record Producer/Speedy Wunderground) Dave has taken me back to my own album launch night, and in this quantum boomerang of a book he takes us on a journey into and out of his mind. He was there and now so are you. Beth Soan (Madonnatron) A written kiss on the pinkest parts of South London. Clams Baker (Warmduscher) The chronicles of the Windmill have been beautifully captured in this memoir. It's a mystery how he could remember these events, but I can confirm some of these marvellous accounts are as accurate as can be. Charlotte Aggett (Madonnatron) A love letter to music, friendship and questionable life choices. La Staunton (Reprezent FM) This book sums up what it's like to be involved in the Windmill scene and the crazy situations that you end up in. Dave Thomson has done this without being cultish about it and for that reason I fully endorse this book. Haydn Davies (Pink Eye Club) Get this vital piece of propaganda. Jamie Taylor (Phobophobes) I suggested to Dave he call the book 'The Chronicles of The Windmill', but he just kneed me in the balls and said, That sounds like the title of a f***ing Rush album! Zsa Zsa Sapien (Meatraffle) It's great to finally read the book Dave's been using as a social crutch these past three years. Seamus McCausland (Landlord, Windmill Brixton)
