“This flyer is an interesting bit of music history as for anyone that was around at the time will remember that this Gig did take place but not as the flyer describes. The reality was that Clint Boon made up this flyer before even approaching the other bands to do a Gig. Atoll K never did and would never support the inspiral's and Clint knew this. Clint incensed Atoll K at the time by approaching them with this arrogant flyer in the Castle pub in Oldham. The Gig did go ahead with Atoll K rightfully as headline band. The Dead Heroes were the only band shown in correct billing position on the flyer. The Inspiral's Carpets always lived in Atoll K's shadow while Atoll K held the local limelight and did not get any exposure until one of the times that Atoll K decided to take a break & time off the circuit allowing the Inspiral's to shine through. This was in my opinion and experience a typical example of Clint's way of approaching and dealing with band business. Poor ethics.”
