In 1998 I worked for TNT Magazine in London briefly with singer, band manager, music critic, author and HIV/AIDS pioneer Vince Lovegrove. At the time I was also doing a course in radio and decided to make a documentary on TNT Magazine. I have never broadcast the documentary before. Vince Lovegrove very kindly agreed to be interviewed by me.
He was a very down to earth, kind and friendly colleague. Here he talks about TNT Magazine's role in promoting Australian bands in the UK and his interview with Michael Hutchence which was to be his last before he was found dead in Sydney in 1997. Vince died in car crash in Byron Bay this week. I have decided to post his section of the documentary as a tribute to him.This is the first time this has ever been broadcast
