“Great to hear from you Kev. Glad you are well. Still in Uk working at Uni and getting older by the day!”

“The best thing to do is an Internet search of the song title as sometimes the odd vinyl outlets have a copy.”

“How are you Kev. Your bass playing was slick, 30 years where did that go?”

“Performance started as 58 variety and comprised of Stefan on guitar, Phil w on keyboards and Phil c on vocals. We used to draft other musicians in on gig nights. In 79 we put ads in NME etc for drummer and bass and became Performance. Paul did some mime on some of the set and Phil Cs girlfriend at the time did some ballet. As well as the gigs Kev has listed, performance supported the Fall, Fad Gadget, the young marble giants and others. They are on the Unzipping the Abstract album and their demos were played quite often on Transmission, Mark Radcliffe's show on key103. Their 4 track EP cassette obscure object of sold well in a little music outlet in Berlin. They had a photo shoot by Kevin Cumins and had reviews in Sounds on a few occasions.”
