Cardiff post punk band Young Marble Giants. Alison Statton on vocals. This is the third set of slides from this show. Maybe I have enough material for one more?? ... I found some old 35mm negativescollecting dust in a box in my attic. Spent some time carefully restoring/enhancing them, and I uploaded them here for your entertainment, and in the process learning how to use Sony Vegas! My retouching/photoshop skills are improving!
Sort lived but bloody amazing!

You obviously weren't there,but if you were your memory is shite.Joy Division didn't play in 80 as Curtis was dead (although flexi discs were handed out on the friday night) and YMG set was ruined when they lost power.And it was no trouble to get close the stage,I actually slept under it until I got custard pied by Not Sensibles! Really happy days...if you were there.

yeah i was there, got closer to the stage with this lot than joy division, only 5 pints with ymg after 8 i dragged myself in the direction of jd. in my opinion the greatest gig they ever did, there are two bootlegs, for the majority of the songs the audience recording is artisticly superior, only a couple ( ithink atrocity exb and 1 more) are better from the mixing desk rec. happy days

Alison Statton does not only have one of the most beautiful voices ever but she is also one of the most beautiful women i've ever seen.

She looks so nice here. Like a provincial schoolgirl :) Or, maybe, a young school teacher.
One of my favourite bands. Thanks for posting ;)
