The Who Interviews on thewho.com Volume 2

Back in 2020 as lockdown began, Japanese Who fan and website moderator Rie Tsubouchi, aka Kallan, compiled and published The Who Interviews on thewho.com, a book of translations into Japanese of several interviews that we had conducted here on thewho.com. First, a selection of interviews conducted by my predecessor, the late Rob Lee and in recent years, interviews carried out by myself. The interviews ranged from Pete, Roger, and Bill Curbishley to various members of the Who ‘family’. All profits from the sale of the book went to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

And now in 2023, Kallan has published a second volume of her translations, The Who Interviews on thewho.com Volume Two, and I was delighted when she asked me to write a foreword to this edition. Again, all profits from the sale of this book will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

    Hi! I would love to support the Teenage Cancer Trust and purchase the books. When I click the link, it seems like a faulty website, is that the only link?
