Only saw Gang of Four once, in 2005 with the full original line up

One of the best gigs I've ever seen

Great guitar work by Andy

Gang of Four - To Hell With Poverty

 

[PinkFinal]

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I thought that but read he was bass guitarist.

Edit: Manchester born wihich I didn’t know. I assumed he was was from Leeds.

Like Dave Gedge from the Wedding Present.... A Leeds band but he was born and raised Middleton - presume went to Leeds Uni and formed the band there

Same with Lloyd Cole. People think he is Scottish as the Commotions were formed in Glasgow but he is from Buxton!

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. ; )

Carcass ,Make up/Break up Scrapheap all brill early Banshees classics.

I was in gobbing distance of her at this gig:

Absolutely love this footage. Played it over and over since I discovered it.
Still think early Siouxsie is vastly under rated .What a Fucking great sound

I wish there was some footage of the gig from the Mayflower Buzzcocks gig around the same time.
