Flame In Hand posters in chronological order #3: Thatcher On Acid, Joyce McKinney Experience, Active Minds - Leeds Duchess, Tuesday 19th July 1988. Thatcher On Acid had to cancel, so Crow People stepped in. We know we had #3 yesterday, but that should have been #4. Three days & we fucked up already.

Couldn’t be prouder of this one. Crow People are/were incredible. You can buy it from www.cracklerecords.co.uk and listen to a track whilst you’re there.

We went to Blackburn for a football match, had no idea how to get to the ground from the station, so followed two people in Blackburn scarves who ‘looked like they knew where they were going’. They took us right around the town and into the McDonalds at the point where we’d started from.

We can play football with a nation engaged in genocide. But we can't play football against trans people who have done nothing wrong. The Football Association is a disgrace.

With respect, she didn’t say you couldn’t, just expressed bemusement as to why you’d want to follow someone who bores you. So there’s no need to be rude.

Leeds’ Nervous Twitch playing one of their three chords on stage in York last night. Much better than a dull AOR-inspired Darling Buds.

I know we loved Chopper and they were our first release, but sticking two fingers up to Crass nearly blew it for them …

It’s five years since Robbie Keane’s little lad decided to bin off mascot duty… and grab the glory instead.

The celebration lasts a full 17 seconds. Sensational stuff.
