I worked briefly in Chilworth back in the early 90’s and caught a few gigs in your fair city - mainly bigger names at the Guildhall or indie stuff at the Joiners. Think I did go to a couple of Uni gigs too but I can’t remember who I saw there!

A dark and dank Friday morning. Extra creaky joints.

A slow start, mugs of strong tea and chilling to some @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social soundscapes.

Yes, they seemed to suffer from labels and management who didn’t know what to do with them. I’ve always thought with better luck they could have been as big as the Bunnymen. I still play their albums regularly.
