Fifteen minutes with you...?

I'm a published freelance writer proposing a piece on Morrissey's 50th birthday (May) and forthcoming album (Feb) to the national press.

Rather than interviewing the man himself, I want to speak to fans, with an emphasis on their enduring love & devotion for Morrissey/The Smiths even 20 years after the band split, and as Moz reaches half a century.

Does anyone have any plans to celebrate his birthday in an unusual way? Or have any interesting/funny tales on their experience of being a Smiths/Moz fan? Anyone who considers themselves particularly fanatical? Any fans from South/Central America?

I'm especially keen to talk to people who share his birthday (22nd May), or who also turn 50 this year.

The article will be a fun, thought-provoking, affectionate & respectful portrayal of Mozza fans. If you think you can help, please, please, please get in touch.

  • I think it's great that you've made the decision not to interview the man himself.

    A very brave move to decide not to do this. I look forward to your new spin on things, talking the people.

    Perhaps, for the best contribution, you could allow them the chance of interviewing morrissey, the chance, that you have passed.
