The Flood, The Otto Show
Tiffany's (Rochdale)
18th April 1985

The sound of young Rochdale...1985.
A typical Rochdale Observer photo of College of Art students gainfully employed raising money for Ethiopia with a concert at Tiffany's, Nelson Street, Rochdale.
Including The Flood ( in black ), Otto Smart ( now The Otto Show- front right ), Meatmouth, then known as Nihil ( not shown ) Paisley Pie, The Mistakes, Sven Morris ( front left ) Warren ( fanzine writer and promoter ) and Emrys Morgan ( not shown ).
The Flood at this stage were using a drum kit that was part 30's Danceband, minus the skulls, and part of the kit formerly belonging to the Slaughter and the Dogs drummer ( The Mad Muffet ? .) The legend on my guitar reads - This Guitar Kills Thatcher.

“Yes yes... i remember meeting Brian from Slaughter and the dogs on Wilbraham Rd in Chorlton where he lived, he gave me a tour of his drum room and i bought 2 large tom-toms from him for £15 plus a pint ( a bloody lot of money in those days!!! ), i think i got them home on the 17 bus.”

“Not been checking these posts chris, sorry. I'd like to hear the two ships cassette. I think I did a solo spot supporting Chumbawamba the next year, there was barely room in the pub for the audience.”
