“Shades of No-One did a number of gigs at the Wishing Well around this time, before falling apart in fairly acrimonious circumstances. I was the guitarist.
Prior to this, we were known as the Submergers and originally, Chaos 4. The Submergers/Chaos 4 also included Beano (Dave Croker, if I remember correctly) on guitar and Hilly (Dave Hillman?) on bass.
I left Manchester in 1980 and lost track of a lot of people on the local scene. I only really stayed in contact with our singer, Poz, who sadly died a few years back.
Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the band, although there is a very dodgy tape recording of one of our gigs lying around.
So, if anyone out there has pics, please add them.
“eh up rob...i was gona edit this flyer and put s.o.n.o. on it but it was stuart from fast cars who uploaded it so i could'nt...the only pic i have is of me and you at cargo...so thats what i'm gona do now.”
“oh yeah one other thing while i'm here.....as far as i know wodge works as clerk of works for the gas board and wedge lives in the wiral working as an advisor for the drug abuse council......when poz came back from london he regulary stayed at my house untill his death...r.i.p.....i still miss the guy..
ps...wedge was steve kelly.....bone was wayne kelly.”
Yeah, I miss Poz loads as well. When he was in London, he mentioned you. Another sad thing is, we'd kind of fallen out and weren't speaking for a couple of years before he died. There's a lesson to be learned in that.”
“Lo Foz Rob
How come when I hear from someone from the past there is always someone who's fell by the way. Must be an age thing. The last time I saw Poz was at the ANL.RAR gig in the Moss.
I'd like to remember him as he was then. Mad ed.”
“lo wedge...yeah it's probably an age thing..... did'nt know you did'nt know about poz as it was a fair few years ago....i saw him on a weekly basis untill the end and he was still joyfully mad and still had fire in his belly.....it came as a shock to me, glad he's being rememberd here.”
