crucial people there. Hilary (Slegehammer), Alastair/Gareth (Godcops), Marty, Petesy, Louanne etc. haven't seen most of those people since the 80's

that's fucking shitty about the belfast gig

Pretty sure they were from Drogheda. No doubt Cripspo will confirm. I know i have that demo somewhere, maybe on the b-side of my Crude and Snyde demo

that's another one for the diary.

Are they playing a Belfast date?

Will be there for Sat night.

that's another great one, have been looking at Dave's site for a couple of weeks. all those hardware zines are great. i downloaded his book on nyhc, will start reading it today.

Hey Bob. I dunno mate, must check my box. I know I had one last one for ages, will check when I go home this evening.

it would have been 88 as i was in London at the time. going by the book it was supposed to be in Keady. we tried to get another gig, all Belfast bands, but the landlord of the pub became a dick and said the cops would close him down if the gig went ahead. as a bus load (maybe two) of punks came...

Keady gets a mention in the Disturbed (Scottish band) section, even though they didn't get to play. There were photos from that gig used in a scene report in MRR at the time. I was living over in London at the time.

know what you mean. my wife got me mine.

yeah, the Glen E Friedman book, mostly photos - some amazing ones in it.

well, did you get it? the fugazi book is there too.

i got mine last Monday, nearly finished it. It's a good read for sure. I bought mine in Waterstones, they got two copies in and there's still one left. Regarding P.T.I.S. i had thought Shane died in the late 80's, not the late 90's as mentioned in the book? I could be wrong.

I head up on Sunday morning and come home on Friday.
