Good song, bad hair. I went round his house once - in Levenshulme, I think. He had a massive self-portrait on the wall of him in the nude holding his nob...
They played a gig in October 1989 at Manchester University student union building. I think Jon Ronson (now a writer/Guardian columnist) was the MC that night...anyway, I "stormed" the stage after they'd finished and met a girl I subsequently went out with for a few months...oh shit I'm drunk...
Used to have a VHS Video on that gig at the International 1/2, not sure and still got the live cassette from Thye Boardwalk, never got to see them live, shame, as the Video was one of the most ramshackle and exhuberant gigs I've ever seen ! Used to see Mike West walking the streets of Manchester.......
Yeah. One of the best gigs I've ever been to. You can see me squashed against the stage in one of the photos in the initial cassette version of the live recording. Hot ain't the word for that night!!
one of my favourite songs of all time!!!

I remember this song from Craig Cash's show on Signal Cheshire.

Yeah I saw you support them in The Boardwalk Jan 1989. In fact it must have been the Big Noise Live recording gig.
