I stupidly thought all English towns had shops like that with all the hot off the presses: new discs, imports, Sniffin' Glue and all. Cambridge was lucky, I realise now. He organised a poorly attended gig at a scuzzy boxing club and/or scout hut type place. Cherry Vanilla played with The Police (pre-Sting) as her backing band. The Users were the openers. There were about 20 of us there as I recall. The Users were fab, Ms Vanilla looked like she was from another planet, which I suppose in a way she was. Pearls before swine, generally, but that Lee Wood was really doing a good job. billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-79677669094964226062014-08-07T21:49:29.421+02:002014-08-07T21:49:29.421+02:00Modest chap too, Lee Wood was his name was it not?...Modest chap too, Lee Wood was his name was it not?

Had no idea at the time he was doing such great work besides supplying us all with the new releases. billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-46783139746588638732014-08-06T18:53:16.280+02:002014-08-06T18:53:16.280+02:00Stu, how fucking dare you be so young!
