“Pardon the intrusion but that's defo the Portland Bars. I recognise the wallpaper as it's the same on our photo from the same era. Check The Images photos.
Love the pics by the way”

“Spotted Andy Couzens in the Roses photo, used to co-manage our band - Green. get in touch mate! K”

“Cool as F**K”

“Beat stompin mayhem - The boys rockin' up a storm on another big beat night to remember. Looks like The Lamplight Club in Chorlton to me”

“Mossbrook Social Club in Moston anyone? - a right laugh that one, an all-night drinking club full of 1 toothed pikies. Made Pinkies and Cobdens look like Stringfellows.”

“Yeah, spot on our kid, Gorton boys through and through”

“It was Steve Garside and I remember us travelling down the motorway to a gig and him following in his 'ultra-cool' yellow triumph stagg. We thought it would be a top laugh to throw a beer filled crisp packet at his windscreen at 60mph...and it was, he nearly totalled his car, and gave us a right mouthful, how we laughed.
By the way, the signing of the contracts in the picture was at the Band on the Wall in Manchester.
Where is Medhurst these days anyway?”

“Hi Jax, we used play Lowrys regularly, including the 60s nights. Lowrys was a fun venue and we always played to a good crowd there.”

“You look like a bunch of IRA terrorists!
I recognise the bloke top right, didn't he used to present the Basil Brush show?”

“The images - recorded our first demo here in 1979 also.
I was 15 at the time and our manager took us in the pub around the corner (can't remember the name) for a pint before we started and explained how the whole process was going to work. I remember being really nervous as we'd never been in a studio before.

Just for the record, and for anyone who might be interested, we recorded 3 songs - In this world, Oh baby and Que Sera.”
