Yes Adrian its good news still see Martin knocking about in Derby--he's a bit of a celeb locally--he made the finals of Britains best dish a few years ago--not the sort of programme you'd expect to see the vocalist of a punk band on!

'No Maggie Thatcher and no Government'

Saw them in 81? supporting UK Subs, On the Bill were Chron Gen and Charged. It was at the Ham Palais good turnout remember it well a lot of skinheads turned out and decided to start knocking the shit out of everyone -
BTW saw the Stranglers there in Nov and the place was rammed full and I mean full.

I was a big fan of Anti-Pasti back in the day. Went to see The Damned in Derby July 1980 and they were the support band. Missed Anti-Pasti, also missed their lead singer getting his head kicked in by some skinheads in the bar as well (Nottingham/Derby rivalry!)

Anyhoos!

The record that introduced me to Anti-Pasti was their '4 SORE POINTS' EP. Classic punk and raw as fuck. Follow up single 'Let Them Free' was good as well. Unfortunately their debut LP 'The Last Call' , although having some great songs ('Freedom Row', 'St George Gets His Gun' etc) suffered from piss poor production imho and the band sound rather plodding overall. Should have been a classic.

I continued to buy their records including all the singles and the follow up album 'Caution In The Wind' which were all very hit & miss. Some good ideas and the band really demonstrated that they wanted to develop their music. A bit like The Adverts a few years before, they just didn't have the talent.

Still, deffo up for a revisit if they do a local gig (for local people)

Well, I was thinking of 'Cast Of Thousands' which could have been much better if The Adverts were more accomplished musicians, similarly Anti-Pasti struggled with that difficult second album. Didn't mean that they had no talent at all, oh no! Hope I've cleared that one up Adrian.

Ok, explanation accepted.... You live to post another day!

I met the guys in Derby in '79 when I was seeing a girl who lived there. Good bunch of lads. But I only saw them play once and that was supporting Splodgenessabounds at what used to be called the Camden 'Music Machine'.
