Pink Fairies Roundhouse July 13th 1975

Pink Fairies second Roundhouse reunion of 1975 - July 13th. The bill featured Pink Fairies, Stray, Radar Favourites and D.J. Andy Dunkley. Pink Fairies line-up consisted of John 'Twink' Alder, Russell Hunter, Paul Rudolph, Duncan 'Sandy' Sanderson, and Larry Wallis. The original footage has been around for some years but the quality has obviously deteriorated having been transferred onto VHS at some point and finally digitalised.* The soundtracks are not synchronised with the film footage although they do derive from the relevant performances. * Tony Davdison (Tonal) out of Pink Fairies covers band Pink FA has shed light on the provenance of the footage - "the video you have on myspace was shot on 8mm by Geoff Eade,He showed me it in 1978 when I joined his band the infamous Drag Squad who released the equally infamous 'Operation Julie' 7" single.a singer very much in the Farren mould.In 1992 I remember this & for the reason of social history I get my mate to transfer it to video......Geoff & I thought of getting someone to put it out....UFO of Hanway Street came to mind as they had just released 'Syd's First Trip'....also silent....of course nowt could be done...so my mate Richard Clarke fronts the money & it sells about 10 copies!!........."

I remember going into the car park to have a joint where i met a young hippy-chick and i shared it with her... after we had casual sex behind a car and then went our seperate ways without even exchanging names. This act did'nt seem dirty at the time... it was beautiful... i loved the 70's i'm going to cry.

I bought the LP 'What a Bunch of Sweeties' when was about 15 as a friend was well into these guys and I liked the rawness and mayhem... but after a few plays at home and the constant nagging of 'Turn that bloody rubbish off!' from my parents, I then went back to WH Smiths and swapped it for Mott The Hoople...!

I cannot believe I have found the Pink Fairies on You Tube! I LOVED them in the 70s and can still enjoy them now - oh wow - how amazing! Also lovely to find people who loved them as much as me - probably my age too - love to you all ........ :-) (am feeling Real Neat right now).....

Ps .. Who gives a fuck about the Dagenham roundhouse anyway coz it ain't the REAL one .. !

@roryboy100 If you really loved the 70s you'd have started that with Dear Penthouse Forum . .

No band would have the balls to call themselves the Pink Fairies now.

Me too wouldn't change a thing. One gig I always wish I'd been at was Ziggy's last gig July 3rd '73. Oohhhhhh yeah.

@Bucklefooked I went to my garage yesterday where i found an old biscuit tin with loads of badges i got from the Roundhouse in the 70's. I found a couple of Pink Faries badges, the memories came flooding back. If it's true that we are constantly at the point of death and reliving our lives... then i would'nt change a thing in what i did when i was younger...the drugs...the drink..the drugs...the drugs... the hair.. the loons...the drugs... Maybe not the Afghan coat....
