A Bouquet of Steel Back in the day Industrial grey and a greasy industry wheel The backdrop to a beat In a pub-room on West Street Where I first smelled a Bouquet of Steel. From amps begged and borrowed Thumped the sounds of tomorrow Made in Sheffield Hand-forged, and real Through fanzines, fly-posting Seeds were spread, Weeds were boasting, then Blossomed into A Bouquet of Steel I stared whilst you danced We were newly romanced Secrets yet to reveal Our glances were long But money was short So I gave you a Bouquet of Steel Day-dreaming in lessons Of doing Peel Sessions and EMI offering a deal Some did it theirselves Own labels, and shelves Full of records Like A Bouquet of Steel The Cabs and the Comsats The Stunt Kites, and all that energy, An alien heat, you could feel ClockDVA, 2.3 Disease, Pulp and Artery A small part of the Bouquet of Steel Now the old flats have gone And the city’s moved on But the sounds are still hot strong, annealed They will never stop playing There will be no decaying Just a fresh, growing Bouquet of Steel.. Mark 'Miwurdz' Hurst

Martin worked as the music journalist for the Star and Telegraph newspapers in Sheffield for many years. His books document the history of Sheffield music from the 1960s to the mid 1980s. Martin was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease at the young age of 57 and after several years living at home, needed the support and expertise of staff at Woodland View Nursing Home to maintain his quality of life.
