    What a fantastic idea to produce this podcast. It’s been brilliant listening to the back stories to this iconic band. The band let us put our cassette recorder on stage at Portsmouth Guildhall I think about 1983. We chatted to them as they unloaded their gear at the back. Hookey tried to hand me his amp lead at the end but sadly a crowd surge meant it didn’t reach me! Looking forward to series 3!
