Not Fade Away

Episode 10: Leslie Ann Coles (Director/Producer)

“Melody Makers: Should’ve Been There”

Hey there! Hi There! Ho there!

The Not Fade Away podcast is back and this time we are talking to Director Leslie Ann Coles about her documentary “Melody Makers: Should’ve Been There” and the new Apple companion book Melody Makers: The Bible of Rock & Roll to talk about the influential London-based music magazine that shaped a generation of musicians in the 1960s & 1970s. 

Leslie Ann was very kind to give me her time and I loved hearing how she put together this incredible documentary. I hope you enjoy our talk as much as I did! 

In this episode, Leslie Ann and I talk about:

• How she came up with the concept of the film and the work it took to get the journalists and musicians to participate. 
• How Melody Maker shaped the music scene in the 60s & 70s.
• Her favorite interviews from the film
• The process of writing and researching the book
• The Melody Makers and New Music Express rivalry
