The Ant World is Watching - Let's RSS Feed It!

Adam Ant - Live Aid 1985Welcome to the all-new Ant Lib Online - the official website of the Ant Liberation Front, the world's largest, longest-running organisation solely dedicated to fans of Adam Ant / Adam & the Ants!

After six months of planning and development, we are steadily rolling out the 'Beta' version of Ant Lib Online to Lifetime Subscribers of the Ant Liberation Front. While the website will be available to view by the general public and non-subscribers, this roll-out method will enable us to 'soft launch' the site by restricting interactivity while testing user experience on a smaller (i.e. "safer!") scale.

The Ant Lib Online website you see now is very much a work in progress, so the input and feedback from our most 'active' memberbase (i.e. paid Lifetime Subscribers) is required now more than ever as we build an online community outpost for fans of Adam Ant / Adam & the Ants that reflects the ongoing social revolution of the modern web.

Adam Ant Charity Day Sunday 7 March 2010

Kevin Mooney - Adam & the Ants 1980Adam Ant made a surprise appearance as part of the Passion hairdressers charity day for St John's Hospice in St John's Wood, north west London yesterday.

Donating some fabulous items including jewellery, signed records and books plus the tape recorder Adam used to record demos for Dirk Wears White Sox and Kings of the Wild Frontier albums, he chatted with locals and regulars of the salon and revealed that he is working with long-term cohort Marco Pirroni again after the pair drifted apart following Adam's well publicised psychiatric issues back in 2002.

Adam also found time to grant Ant Lib an interview for the forthcoming Warriors 4 DVD. Read more about the event on the Ant Lib blog - and see how well Adam looks now with exclusive photos.

Adam Ant & Friends on a Spring Sunday Afternoon

Adam Ant - March 2010Now, Sundays are usually for recuperating after the night before. In this case, it was from being up all night on the new Ant Lib Online, putting final touches to articles and interviews. A call from Caroline, Ant Lib video editor extraordinaire, awoke me from dreams of editing CSS tags: something about Adam, an auction and a hairdressers. You know that feeling when you think somebody is having you on..?

Because I live not so very far away from St John's Wood, I thought I'd better go along 'just in case'. Caroline being knee-deep in her work with a deadline looming wasn't so sure, but we both chanced what seemed more like an episode of Beadle's About and individually made our way to Passion, just off St John's Wood High Street in north west London.

Interview › Neil Barker of Zerox - Salford City Radio

Neil Barker - ZeroxWith the recent news reports that the UK's only state-supported alternative/indie radio station BBC 6 Music could be culled as part of the BBC's spending cuts, the voluntary work of niche local radio stations matter even more in these tough economic climes. Zerox on Salford City Radio, with it's specialist dedication to all things punk, New Wave and early '80s, is one of them. We nailed down Neil Barker, the show's anchorman, producer and tea maker for a quick chat...

Hey Neil, how's about giving us a bit of basic info about yourself...?
I am an only child, born in Bolton in 1972, and have lived in many places in Greater Manchester, but mainly Salford and Chorlton. I currently live in Swinton, Salford with my partner Anne-Marie.
