Secrets - The Cure fan special

"You may remember I was collecting "Cure stories" for the Birmingham (UK) website Hagley Road to Ladywood along with my colleagues. Well, after 3 months the project is ready and it's going to be a permanent feature.

The feature is called "Secrets", The Cure Fan Special - It's a permanent database of Cure fans' stories from all around the world. There are first-hand accounts of how people first discovered the Cure, the song(s) that got them hooked up and what the band meant, and still means, to their daily lives. It's a quirky collection of anecdotes, secrets, stories and memories. " (Thanks Claude)
