The news of Pam Hogg’s passing today came as a heartbreaking shock. She always felt so resilient and untouchable. She was such a force of nature.
Before I even really knew Pam, she was this person I’d heard of. When I moved to London, me and my friend Andy [Bradin] were fixated with her. We were hell-bent on trying to get into her shows. They were such an event in London, with queues snaking around the corner. Everyone wanted to get in. The front row would be people like Siouxsie Sioux and Nick Cave. It was a true spectacle. There weren’t really shows like that. We tried a couple of times and couldn’t get in.
