Think it was Wodger Lee.... I remember the other fella Geoff as he was involved in a mate's project at one point..I was in a 3 piece called The Octopus....we'd wigged out at this point big time to annoy the Mod/60s crowd we were part of so no-one could really work us out..we looked like Black Sabbath but pretty much sounded like a pre indie dance turn that was to crop up a few years later...had a Radio One session in 88 or 89 but we just never fitted in - some of course, may say we were SHITE!
ANother band with the same handle followed us a few years later as it goes...the swines...and had some minor success but couldn't tell ya anything about them!

If anyone on here followed The Prisoners/Playn Jayn at the time then I may know ya....they were the only bands I really bothered with mid 80s..and in the early days of The Prisoners, everyone knew each other cos there was hardly anyone at them!

^
I followed The Prisoners and the 'Medway Sound'. Billy Childish, The Headcoat(ee)s, Buff Medways and all that.Graham Day (and the Gaolers...natch) of The Prisoners etc. has released a couple of very good albums in the last few years. The venues that I seem to remember seeing the above bands were Bay 63/Subterranea beneath the Westway, Deptford Albany, Rough Trade Shop,ULU and a few others. I think that I may have even seen The Prisoners at The Wellington opposite Waterloo Station.

We won a Gary Crowley Demo Clash. After what seemed like months of waiting for it to come on his show I was out when it was aired. If I remember correctly, I was in Greenwich and people were coming up to me congratulating me then laughing at the fact that I missed it....luckily I recorded it.

I'm spinning this one at the moment, its tough, about 100 bucks but I think it'll go though the roof when the funk boys pick up on it.

It may well have been Cat, I've heard of kids handing over a weeks wages outside The Sink Club for a copy with a picture cover. The story goes that Darren "Dazza" Davis packed his dirty underwear in quite a few copies and stored the package in the hull of the ship he worked on before it left NYC bound for Liverpool. The kids went crazy for the record only because of the cover. The record itself was the wrong beat for the clubs, this being in 1949 and the big dance at the time being the Hully Gully. The cover was sought after because the singer had a Jack Daniels Tee shirt under his Madras jacket and a baseball cap. Up until then Tee's had been thought of as underwear. The kids took the covers to a small backstreet Jewish tailors called Donbergs in the city to have the caps copied. Mr Donberg didn't quite get the shape right and the Porkpie hat was born. The rest, as they say, is history.
