Another Moss Side Night - Yargo. Basil Clarke in his pomp. Their International 2 gig in 1988(?) ranks alongside the best at that time.

Fuck Longsight
And Levenshulme
Same goes for Stockport and Hulme
We doing alright
Just post-house blues
Cos this is northenden in the afternoon

The kids are deranged
They love guns and kidnap
Thats just the way we do things here
The day dies down
Not a moment too soon
Under the northenden afternoon

Northenden afternoon

fucking bril!

Yargo were a top band. Remember The Other Side Of Midnight? The Tony Wilson show named after their track? The Phil Lynott thing is true, his mum owned a boarding house/blues-shebeen in Plymouth Grove, Longsight, where the QSG used to go for a late drink<br /><br />-- Tue Apr 06, 2010 8:32 pm --<br /><br />Yargo were a top band.
