Cardiacs - A Little Man and a House (Early Promo)

NOT from Seaside Treats but a couple of years earlier. That's Marguerite Johnston making it a seven-piece. Not sure who that young slim bass player is, though...

Thank you for the update! I hope Marguerite is doing well and thriving!

My Dad was saying that they often ended a concert with a particular song, with a big confetti/fireworks explosion near the end, is that 'the whole world window', or another song?

[gehennathehorse]

That would be The Whole World Window - you can relive the experience in the video of the performance at Brixton Fridge. Another, later, grand finale song was The Everso Closely Guarded Line.

Not quite - Graham Simmonds, who is in the photo, seems to have left, though Marguerite Johnston is still there. I reckon this must be around 1983/84.

is still there

vintage treats - that batman joker look was ahead of its time. I hear its quite a common fashion for young gentlemen at student goth nights these days.

"The early bird catches the worm, does the worm think that that's the way that we all go?" is a genius lyric
