“Yes indeed! it was the very same sandmen who appeared on after midnight, in the rehrsal at Granda we had the horrible experience if seeing Anthony H Wilson with no shirt on! but we met Gail Tansly from Coro on the canteen, some of the lads were impressed with that. I'm not sure if the TV clip has been uploaded to youtube, I don't have it, but It would make me grin to see it again - happy daze. I think I might have a go at rerecording some of those old songs and post the results on my myspace page www.myspcae.com/sublimator”
“I have seen or heard from Festa for years. The last rumour was hat he was manging a bar on the Oxford Road somewhere behnind the old Riley Snooker Hall for our mate Simon who is an architect that we all shared digs with. That must have been more than ten years ago. I left The Sandmen in 1991, they split up about two or three years later. The high water mark was arguably a session for the John Peel Show with the new drummer and the new bass player.”
“I was at the October 22nd gig palying bass for the sandmen. I don't remember much about it as usual except that Martin our drummer was thought that Plenty's drummer was cheating 'cause he used a click track. Their Dad was friendly though.”
