Photograph
Magazine, Howard Devoto
The Electric Circus
2nd November 1977

A brilliant photo of Howard Devoto at the Electric Circus. This was Magazine's first gig, and the last night of the Electric Circus.

This photo was taken by writer and cultural historian Jon Savage. Thanks very much to Jon for sending it to us.

I'm not sure what, or whom, Howard has thrown over his shoulder!

“It was a practically full sized dummy/doll that he draped over his shoulder for "I Love You You Big Dummy". The third and final number played on the night.”
