Summer 78, the Stranglers had released three albums by then!

I remember everyone waiting for them to put something out and we couldn't understand why. Had seen them twice before they released anything and listening to Hong Kong garden for the first time was a bit of a shock after the energy of carcass and helter skelter live. It didn't take ling to grow on me though. ; )

Two friends of mine, Steve and Brad promote up and coming bands through 'IndigoBravo'(see Facebook) and host free gigs at the Rising Sun top Mossley. Usually every 2nd Saturday in the month. Excellent small venue serving craft ales and homemade pizzas. Last train back to Manchester is a reasonably late 23:50.

Cracking track by a band who never got the recognition they deserved mate.

He was lead guitarist.

Only original member left I think.
