Here is another clue.... He was once employed by MCFC.....
 
Released in September 79, almost 40 years old. How time flies... UK Subs were my favourite band at the time, and this is a great album, IMO of course.


1. C.I.D.
2. I Couldn't Be You
4. Tomorrows Girls
5. Killer
6. World War
7. Rockers
8. I.O.D.
9. T.V. Blues
10. Blues
11. Lady Esquire
12. All I Wanna Know
13. Crash Course
14. Young Criminals
15. B.I.C.
16. Disease
17. Stranglehold

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 !

No answer to this question yet?
 
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 :)

Yes - Ed Garrity is Edwina Garrity these days.
He left Ed Banger & The Nosebleeds to join Slaughter & The Dogs for a while.
Billy Duffy then joined a reformed The Nosebleeds and recruited a young lad from Stretford called $teven as the singer.
Played 2 gigs one at the Ritz supporting Magazine and one at the Poly supporting Slaughter
 
I thought a band called Bet Lynches Legs sand Kinnel Tommy i heard it on the John Peel R2 late one night
It was about a shit footballer from what i recall I could really relate to it in those days ha

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.
 
I'm having a trip down Punk / New Wave memory lane..

When So It Goes was on Granada presented by Tony Wilson (good lad for a Rag) you could only get tickets to watch it being filmed at the original Electric Circus in Collyhurst from Granada. I got on this early and went to loads and there would be hundreds outside trying to get in but a relative handful actually watching inside. The best two I went to were when Penetration, John Cooper Clarke and at least three other bands played on one night and then to watch The Jam on another.
