A mate of mine saw a group in Basildon in 1979 called "Warm Leatherette" they were slightly geeky and experimental with synth/ early electro sound. Later became Depeche Mode.

The other punk band from Swansea, Cosmic Zaps, I think?

Also, Delusions of Grandeur although not punk they were ok-ish (for about 30 mins) but had a stupid name. They also tried very hard to be the 'Swansea' U2.


Ah DOG

Saturday night at the Coach.

They were very much U2 writ small.

I used to run the place in those days.

You've got his autograph haven't you? 👀


I don't, Darren! I have a wall covered with autographed photos, and selfies with quite a few, but I didn't know he was doing a meet and greet in Cardiff, so I'm a tad jealous of you. His father, of course, was something else!

I've said this before but I've seen Dire Straits three times and I can't stand them. Twice a fella was running a trip to see them from the Baglan Club and me and the boys put our names down for a laugh and another time they were on the bill in a festival.

One of the times we were so off it on Bow & Blow I can't remember anything at all about it,my girlfriend reckoned I fell asleep five minutes before they came on,that was at the Showering Pavillion in Shepton Mallet.

Good times.

I slept most of the way through a Cure show in Manchester (I think) years ago. I wasn’t stoned or anything, they were just really f*cking boring. Saw them about five or six times altogether.

Seen The Cure in Crystal Palace bowl in 1990. Thought they were brilliant at the time. I then saw them in Cardiff in the mid nineties not so good.

They were good days around that time. Formative years in many ways.

I also remember another band, No Flags etc? Something like that. Fairly entertaining bunch. Two brothers in their line up. One of them might have worked at the post. I think one of the brothers in the band, passed away at a very young age?
