ANDY NEILL heard his first Who record in 1971 and has yet to fully recover. His knowledge of The Who inspired A Fortnight of Furore - a privately published account of the group's notorious Australasian tour - and afforded him the opportunity to pen the liner notes to the historically important BBC Sessions anthology. as a freelance author he has written extensively about popular music, including regular contributions to such globally distributed publications as Record Collector and Mojo. He cowrote, with Terry Rawlings and Keith Badman, Good Times Bad Times: the Definitive Diary of the Rolling Stones, and has assisted with several other bestselling rock biographies. Additionally, Andy is a keen historian of music in film and on television, acting as archive consultant to the U.K. Channel 4 documentaries Hellraisers, The Real Keith Moon, and The Real John Lennon.
MATT KENT first saw The Who in 1971 and was instantly hooked. After witnessing their awesome power, he decided that there was only one career path for him to follow but went on to train as a civil engineer instead. As one of the organisers of Who conventions in the United Kingdom, Kent went on (along with Mark Donovan) to found the Who fan club Naked Eye. Additionally, he hass contributed to many of the recent reissues of the band's back catalogue and has provided notes for recent Who concert programmes. Kent has also helped out with research for book and television projects about the band, including the Keith Moon biography Dear Boy, VH1 Legends, and Classic Albums - Who's Next. He currently works for Pete Townshend, managing his websites. In between, Matt tries to have a life.
