Let me show you, baby, I’m a talented boy.

Had an older friend whose insulin was always being tweaked by the diabetes nurses and he could get confused. Hope your Mum is on the mend soon.

Hope your wait isn’t too long and it gets sorted.

Yeah, saw them same period. Fantastic live band.

Had my 1987 singles playlist on. You were followed by Big Decision.

It’s really good.

And since then I always play the same song to test a new system out

With smoked glass door? Got mine for my 16th in 1982.

Got it on now

Proud owner of the 3cd issue. Love it.

I remember the buzz cut.

Don’t remember Malcom having such big hair.

I’d love to say they were great but don’t have any recollection other than another band played before Sugar nearly blew my eardrums out.

I think I saw The Venus Beads support Sugar in September 92’? Name rings a bell, definitely.

Haha

Great pics. Up close and personal.

Enjoy. Watching Karl Burns last night was amazing.

It happens. I completely missed seeing both The Wolfhounds and Moonshake live even though I bought all the records at the time.

First time i saw them. East Village were great on the night too

An MP Speaks and God Made The Virus wasn’t the usual lyrical content for a mid 80s independent band. Also think Tim Gane is overlooked as a guitarist during his time in McCarthy.
