A Field Guide to Britpop explores a scene fuelled by north–south rivalries, tribal fashion and a good cup of tea. Author Steve Wide documents the artists and albums, the who’s who and hangabouts that defined the era. From Blur’s jaunty pop, Pulp’s working-class poetry and Suede’s dark tales of the elegantly wasted, to the pub sing-alongs of Oasis – Britpop looked to the past to reshape the future, becoming the last true music scene of the 20th century.
Steve Wide is a music writer and radio DJ who has interviewed some of Britpop's most influential artists and characters including Alan McGee, Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Radiohead, Elastica, Cast, The Auteurs, Supergrass and The Bluetones.
