Flyer
Dislodge, Abdominal Pain, Subterfuge

This was the flyer for the first punk gig held at Wilton Street Chapel in Denton. It may also have been the last! Each band contained at least one of my schoolfriends who embraced the ideals of punk get up there and do it.

“Pretty sure Abdominal Pain were from Denton - I remember it graffiti'd on Town Lane.

My mate had keys to this church hall around that time and we used to kick a ball about in there - don't know how I missed this?”

“Sorry Lesarcs2000 but Carl is not quite right. He was in the band at the end. The Band was formed at Two Trees Secondary modern, Haughton Green in 78. By Myself (Paul Keelagher) Eric Mansell (Ez Trash!) and Niel Wain now Cheif of Police in Stockport! Ross Cain was added very soon after. Neil left after 1 gig and Tez O'Meara was recruited on Bass he was a regular at St Georges in Dane Bank. That is how the line up stayed we did about 10 gigs all up including a 3rd support for Crass at the Mayflower and we were on the same bill as the Frantic Elevators (Mick Hucknall') band that also featured Brain Turner. The Hoax featuring Mike Joyce of Smith's fame actually supported us at Haughton Green Lad's club.
I big miss was being offered a 3rd support gig to the Damned at the Russel Club but we couldn't arrange a van in time, It was mid week and none of us could drive. Carl Joined after Ross was sacked,not sure why now something like Eric and Tez thought he was 'too gay' their words not mine. Perhaps he craved a bit of Glam Rock”

“Hey Abdom. I still have visions of the time you fell off the back of a van we were in, on the way back to Denton. You were unconscious, in a heap, in the middle of the road, with cars hurtling round the bend. I thought you were a gonner. Somehow they missed you and we had time to get you off the road. I think it was after some Protest gig.”

“G'day Phil Yes hair line fracture of the skull, lost a tooth concussion and several cuts and bruises 2 days in Tameside general. not one of my better decisions jumping on the back of the van as it was leaving!
Thank god I don't drink Cider anymore. It took me months before I could remember anything about that night. I heard the cops couldn't understand how I got so badly injured falling off a kerb! for some reason the van had to be disappeared before they got there!”
