Date: 10th October 1986
Venue: Lewisham Labour Club
I’ve no idea how we came to be playing at Lewisham Labour Club, but I do remember certain elements of the event well. Nearly twenty years have dimmed the old memory, but I seem to recall that we played a truly appalling funk song I had written for the first time in front of an audience and it was dropped from the set as rapidly as it had arrived. During that era, my fellow band members were remarkably polite about my songwriting efforts, humouring me as another overblown piece of indulgence tortured our poor audience nearly as much as it did them.
