Watched Protex playing Don't ring me up in Comos youth club (see part 5 shell shock rock rock) whereas cup of Fanta was thrown over their amp and justly ended the set!
@eddietheturdburglar I find it interesting that they toured with Boomtown Rats since they were all originally from Dún Laoghaire and Protex were from Belfast. Were Protex Catholic and from West Belfast? Else I would think there would be some fighting between the two? Or did punk bands from the North and South play together around that time and put the fighting aside?
WOW saw these back up the Boomtown Rats at The Rainbow And At Hammersmith,got all there s vinyl as well,thought these were going places at the time,lots of great irish bands out then tho,Stiff Little Fingers, Rats, U2,ETC Thx for the upload.
I remember him. I think he was Dave's cousin. In fact I think I still have a Rory Gallagher album "Against the Grain" that belongs to Ray - he wrote his name on the cover. What's the chance of me getting that back to him after 30 odd years!!
