    Blue Vein would play on the clock in salisbury st on thursdays, we got the more plush weekend dates

    Cook da books were around when we were too, they had a good chart entry, the video was shot in Gerard Gardens.

    Wah/mighty Wah - The story of the blues.

    Up and running out of afraid of mice/two's company (Phil Jones) used to watch them on the Star & Garter.

    Do you remember a group Gnasher, about 6 of them, played i the Cumberland and used to do a song called/or had the lyrics - 'Little red bottle I love you' ?

    We played The Royal Court with Blue Vein(my last night with The Touch 16/12/83).They played again there with Up and Running.Blew them both off the stage.
    What year for the Cumberland? Could it have been North West One?

    I think you're spot on with North West one Gnash as it's ringing bells. It would have been 81-83.

    Our gig venues were Daleys Dandelion, The Mayflower, Throstles Nest, Mitre, Schooner Inn, Whispers, The Clock, The Dorchester/Pembroke club, Kenny Fields, Windsor Castle aka Bents, Red Star club, Henglers Circus to name but a few. We sometimes played 5 nights a week and I was earning well in excess of my day job

    We were always in Hesseys and Curly music - then around to Probe, Backtrax and The Magical Mystery Store - then a couple of years later we'd go to Cavern Mecca after MMS closed down.

    That would be brilliant Gerard. Most of my friends have a go at me for "living in the past" but class will always be class. Anything you could provide would be gratefully appreciated.
