I saw them support Orange Juice at the Top Rank Suite. It only stuck in my memory because they were dire.

Many thanks to the OP for this. Enjoyed it very much.

As for Dickson, that's just Karma at work.

If you are in a band capable of this



But you sell out, chase the baggy pound, and churn out this



Then you too, will end up on your own, in a high rise council flat, with two small dogs and a collection of toy robots.

 

[Staly]

Thanks. This passed me by.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Good shout, what with seeing JAMC this week I seem to be regressing !!

 

[Flex Your Head]

Looking forward to watching this when I get the chance - thanks for the link.

You say that like its a bad thing. Be proud of your elitisim.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Does any one remember a gig on the beach outside the Zap with Primal Scream and The Soup Dragons ? Ive got a feeling That Petrol Emotion were on the bill as well.

It's a good thing.

A great watch! The Soup Dragons were the reason I got into Indie in the mid 80s. Them and The Weddoes, of course. I mean 'them' not the band 'Them', just in case there is any confusion.

Those clips of splash 1 remind me of the Sunshine Playroom nights down the Zap club
