Thanks a million for posting this, I first saw them at ULU in the early 80's, still a brilliant band today and really nice fellas ✌🏼🙏🏽😎

I got curious cos Bobby Gillespie mentioned this band (as well as Au Pairs) in episode 3 ('alternative/indie' music) of the BBC music doc "The 80s - Music's Greatest Decade?". Glad I checked them out - loving the drum sound. I thought a Peel session would be a good place to start. Sounds great, cheers for sharing.

Is that a very Young Jhonn Balance ( Coil) at the far left ?

[@_Liminal_]

Nope, that`s Richard Heslop I think, brother of Thom. He made the visuals.

@@_Liminal_ It is Richard Heslop but no relation to Thom...
