Here is the history to this video. The gig was run by the Edinburgh College of Art and was in the Transport Hall in Annandale Street. We were putting together a training video on how to put on a gig. The final video included interviews with the Art College Entertainments. It was shot on an old open reel, black and white Panasonic Recorder I blagged from the School of Community Studies, hence the crap quality. There were 3 bands that night: The Valves, The Monos (or they could have been the solos

RIGHT ON! In '78 I was in a record store where a worker started blaring "Of One's Skin" on the stereo and it was the first awesome jolt of punk for this grade 8'er. Too bad the whole song's not here but cool nonetheless this video exists.

Saw The Skids about 7 or 8 times around this period they were usuallly the support to the "bigger" bands who played in Edinburgh ie Stranglers etc I probably was at this and it's either Clouds Discotheque the other venue that was about this size in Edinburgh was Tiffany's in St Stephens St but i'd plump for Clouds at Tollcross
