[Dub Sex] could only have come from the crescents of Hulme, such is the rawness and intensity. If the music of Dub Sex provides a soundtrack to Hulme, then, through Swerve, Hoyle provides the narration, from the centre of the cauldron, capturing the essence of what still bonds many today. Whilst the odds were against the author to begin with, his story of one of inquisitiveness, determination and drive underpinned by friendships which have endured in some cases for 50 years. Swerve is an incredibly honest book which will have the reader hooked. It’s so loaded with detail, of people, places and events, that it’s hard to articulate just how rich this is.
