Johnny Sharp

Johnny is a freelance journalist who writes regularly for The Guardian, Q and Mojo, and was previously one of the NME’s best known feature writers, working under his school nickname Johnny Cigarettes. He has also contributed to publications as diverse as The Daily Telegraph, Bizarre, Loaded, FourFourTwo, Minx, Xerox photocopiers customer magazine, Viz, and Militant. Career highlights include unwisely swallowing a green substance offered by noted bon viveur Shaun Ryder and ending up spending several hours licking a radiator; and once taking part in a ‘naked protest’ at Glastonbury festival. He only disrobed for around 30 seconds, but the resulting picture was printed in NME and his mother had to buy up all the copies in her local newsagents to avoid bringing shame on the family.
