Here's one for ya.
Which reasonably well known Manchester musician [not quite from the punk era] appears in the Great Rock n Roll Swindle in the footage from Huddersfield???
[he's the one putting cake in Rotten's face]

Is it fair to say that it’s not surprising they are hard to spot...??
 
It wasn't "Steven" the mysterious cake flinger was it? Mind you I can't imagine him being that frivolous.

Anyone remember Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias? Not sure they were a true punk band but they were around at the time. Very funny too.
Yes more a parody band.
Read the book about them by member CP Lee called "when we were thin"
Great stories about hiding drugs in the van when returning from euro gigs
 
I was in the UK subs fan club. Seem to remember there was an advert in melody maker or sounds to send an sae with a postal order for £2.50 for a year's membership. I was about 13 at the time so had to save up pocket money. Got monthly news letters and bought a war head t shirt !
I had an original Warhead t-shirt, also bought another I had until quite recently, don't know what happened to it. Also had a 'Another Kind of Blues' t-shirt

Just received a Rattus Norvegicus Stranglers album cover t-shirt off eBay I'm well chuffed with.
 
Anyone remember Ed Banger & The Nosebleeds? I had a single called K'innell Tommy & I always thought it was them but it turns out it was after Eddie Garrity (Ed Banger) had left and that single was by Ed Banger & His Group Therapy.

Edit: Just for MES...spot The Smiths connection :)

Still got my 7" copy of "ain't been to no music school". Bought either in the underground market or from Robinsons records.
 
There is a bit in Mark Burgess book about the Huddersfield gig. He hitch hiked there from Middleton (on Xmas Day) and saw the afternoon matinee which all the kids of striking firefighters were at, then the evening show.
 
Name that tune...

"Girls with eyes like Swimming Pools
Are the one I despise
Cos I need lots of colour
To hide my bloodshot eyes..
Hide my bloodshot eyes (oi! oi! oi!)
