The Stockings : Street Talking

Perth band from c. 1979-1982. The song was on their 1979 debut 12" EP release on the Sweetcorn label, as well as a self-titled 12" EP on Rough Diamond the following year. Not sure if they're the same recording but this would be from the latter record. The band is possibly best known for featuring Bernie Lynch on lead vocals for the first couple of years; he went on to the far more successful Eurogliders.

Clip taken from Countdown, March 30 1980.

Love these uploads. Do you have any performances from any bands for May 18 or 25 from 1980?

Possibly - but I didn't keep notes on the original date of broadcast, so I can't really be sure which is which!

Bernie Lynch wrote this song, and Eurogliders used to perform it in their live sets back in the early days in Perth. The drummer in this clip is John Bennets, also from Eurogliders.

I remember seeing this on Countdown and never saw it again. I never realised; (a) they were from Perth, and (b) that Bernie Lynch had been in the band. I just though he was always in The Eurogliders.
