Re Arrow and Indigo
They were in fact two different studios, but both were owned by Greendow, and they were in different buildings. Indigo was on Gartside Street virtually opposite wherer Granada was, whereas Arrow as on Bootle Street just down from the police station.”
“Great to see people remember Edward Fox! I'd known Paul since 1972-3. I met Smack through Arrow Studios where I worked, and so we produced the single. The chorus, is the band, me and Paul.”
“I'm not sure whether being insulted by Paul Morley is a claim to fame as a member of Harpoon. Ah well, if you're going to be insulted, at least get it from somebody famous!”
“Wow the Thunderboys.... I remember them coming into Arrow Studios.. Nice band... But they a huge argument between themselves in the studio during a 'meeting'!
They supported some name 'pop' band but didn't get paid as the others had spent the money on stage costumes! R'N'R.....not”
“Paul and I were friends for some years . . . . we recorded 'Edward Fox' by Smack which got into the top 50 Sounds alternative chart. Great band, good song, good bloke. . ..”
“Fast Breeder were great- we were mates- I saw them in some pub in North Manchester on the Queen's Jubilee(!!!!) when the police came in and took them off stage for drug possession . . .
Am I right in saying that crazy Dave (on the right) was killed by his girlfriend in the early nineties??!!”
