Buzzcocks
7th October 1977

“Liverpool Polytechnic punk concert October 7th 1977, The Buzzcocks, The Skunks the New Hearts and possibly John Cooper Clark were on the schedule that night.
As punk concerts around the North of England grew more popular through 1977, October saw the beginning of a different type of following as the bands seemed to get tighter and the closet punks were starting to participate in the movement.

“That looks like the lovely Kevin Cummins at the front.”

“is that the gig i had my bass stolen”

“What, in Liverpool ? Never!!!”

“steveg - this is not the night your bass was nicked as Garth, though he isn't in this pic, was still playing with the buzzers then, well at least for one more night! The next night they were at Mr Georges in Coventry Garth got pissed smashed his new Gibson Thunderbird walked off the stage and was given the heave-ho! Your first gig was at Nottingham Sandpipers 10 Nove 77 with the Lurkers supporting. Your bass and Shelley's Gordon Smith were nicked in Liverpool at the Uni the following year.
JCC was one of the supports at this gig.”
