A Moment In Time N.M.E, 6th July 1985 - # 18 Pat Cash

 


The centre pages of this weeks NME are guven over to a two page interview with rising tennis star Pat Cash . He gets two pages. As much as cover stars R.E.M. Cash goes into a monologue immediatelyabout how whoever is Number One un the sport at any point in time is also the best athlete in the world too.

The interview and article are fluently written up by Adrian Thrills. It doesn't feel out of place. This is what the NME set out to do at this moment in time. It was fantastic value for moneyThe musical link is rather negligible and less interesting . He likes Hard Rock which is hardly NME's primary currency.

Cash is a incredibly confident and fluent speaker and the back and forth is engaging and compelling. It doesn't feel like a marketing exercise but a genuine back and forth. It's all quite informative..
