“Certainly be interested in the video of the Exploited!!, I was there at the Mayflower (well only once) and it was a night time gig. I remember my brother asking Watty if he could touch his mohican!! ;-)”
“Hi Varicose, you need to get a facebook account so we can all speak. Most of the old Rammy crew are on there, and still play in bands. Still speak to your Baz now and again on Facebook............KArlos”
“I remember all of these. Varicose Veins were awesomely bad, but that's how they made their name! I remember Ian (went to school with his brother) and 'toothpaste' the bassplayer. I saw many bands here, the best being Dead Kennedys, The Exploited, Vice Squad, and UK Subs.
I was only about 15 at the time (early 80's) so I often got in through the side door as the doormen wouldn't let us in (officially). I was in a band called 'The Filth', but I never played at the mayflower, the last gig I remember playing in Manc was Stockport 'Smugglers Club', I remember it well because my mate had his car pinched by some p*ssed up passer by and it was the car we ALL got our gear into to get there in the first place!
Have nothing but great memories of the Mayflower, 'dem were de days'!”
