Flyer
Buzzcocks
1978

In the wake of the Northern Carnival Against Racism and the profound way it turned
people’s heads, the Buzzcocks, going about ‘business as usual’ set out on the ‘Beating Hearts’ tour
to promote their second album ‘Love Bites’. Although I’m not sure of the cohesiveness of their
continued relationship with Anti Nazi League/Rock Against Racism, they clearly allowed a continued
presence of the organisation at many subsequent gigs, in the form of a merchandise stall where
literature, leaflets, stickers, badges, etc., were available alongside the band’s own usual promotional
merchandise.
I picked up this flyer at the Malvern Winter Gardens gig (19/10/78) along with badges, stickers and other literature,
all of which, sadly, have been lost through the passage of time.
