Back in the early 80's they were regularly featured in Kerrang magazine, and were getting rave reviews for their live shows at the Marquee
I first saw them as headliners on the first edition of the CH4 live metal fiasco '
ETC'
That episode opened with Motorhead, followed by The Lords Of The New Church, Magnum and Madam X. I loved their sleazy look and went out a got a copy of the album
I was really excited when the dates were announced. My mum wasn't impressed when I got my ticket to see them and she gave a huge sign of relief when it was cancelled!
Looking back, I suppose it was a bit daft for a young teenager full of bravado from Portsmouth to hop on a train and go to the ol' smoke for a rock concert on their own!
Oh - I made a mistake in my last post - it was 1985 and not 1984!
