Beefsteak 305 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm pretty sure that was 1978 as we went to the Sham 69 gig and it was one of their last ones (They didn't break up , they just stopped live gigs after a particularly hairy moment or two at (IMMSC)Middlesex Polytechnic later in 78 ??)

rockindad 0 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 OYou are right the cramps did play the sandpiper, it was a night off from supporting the police Amazing gig the original lineup with Bryan Gregory, from that night on I was a Rockabilly fan, from my fading memory it was not well attended maybe 30 people, pretty sure it was 1979, anybody here remember seeing Siouxsie and the banshees at Katie's in beeston maybe 1977 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WilfWag 1 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Yes, I saw Siouxie and the Banshees at Katie's - as well XRay Spex, the Boys, the Worst ... who else? I still have a green flyer for the venue somewhere that someone gave me on the bus. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN123. 9,325 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 The night Sham played the Sandpiper... the place was jammers..jimmy pursey began Ulster Boy...and the place went mad..first time i ever saw plastic pint glasses. Seem to recall 2 bouncers bare chested on the stage. Ligged at the portland building when the delish Gaye Advert played. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN123. 9,325 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Read back the old posts on this great thread..very urgent and brash was 1977. Magazine were very good..i had just bought Spiral Scratch. Saw the Rezillos when they were the Revillos too! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris, my bass playing mate in the band, told me Pursey’s mum was backstage sorting his hair out. There’s other details too which I recounted in my first ever NS post. I won’t repeat them as at the time I didn’t realise this wasn’t the type of place for unsavoury posts. S’pose it’s still there in the ether tho’. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN123. 9,325 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Alan..think it was Hippo Girl that told me ..the two bouncers were brought in last minute from Annabells or some such place. Simon Fisher ..i think photographed this and the Ultravox! gig. Sadly as i recall Jimmy had 'unwanted' dealings with a Radio.I and TV star...JK..alledgelly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan s 156 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 @IAN123. I've come across that bloke's pics before, he had some "unknown band" pics some of which were of The Turbines so I let him know who they were. You prompted me to have another look and this time I noticed there was a section dedicated to the punters.........And there I am!! Well the back of me. Leather bike jacket with scuffed / torn right shoulder caused when a Moggy 1000 pulled away from the kerb without looking & ran me over as I was overtaking it. Couldn't do owt about it as I wasn't insured. My girlfriend Jayne to my left and Jane, the bass guitarists girlfriend, in the middle. Dunno if this link will work but uploading pics on here has me baffled, Cheers, Alan. http://www.smfpics.com/backcat/sandpiper/people/Scan10456.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian, the bloke's name is Steve Fisher and I contacted him to buy the pic. He got back to say he'd found six others, he sent me some thumbnails, and was I interested in those too? Since then he's found four more and there's some cracking pics amongst them. He's busy cleaning them up or whatever photographers do to 40 year old negatives and I should have them in a couple of days. Alan. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan s 156 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Things have taken a slightly weird turn, got this from the photographer; Alan, Thanks got the payment, will save the beer for the weekend. Have found another photo ( see attached ) is this you? I have been running some of my old photo scans through a facial recognition program and it matched Jayne. Think this was from a party at Ruddington Coop? Don't ask were this neg is, I scanned it in 2014 in the middle of some bike pics. The facial recognition program has so far been running for 2 days solid and found ( or so it thinks ) over 150,000 individuals, it could take a long time to sort out. It is me but I have no recollection of it. Cracking pic tho’. If I master posting pics up on here I’ll stick some of them up. Alan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
