An appalling local band from Finchley whose name I cannot remember. The venue was the old Finchley Gaumont cinema and these three fellas made a terrible noise. I think this was circa 1976 and was on a late Sunday afternoon before a film came on. The cinema has since closed down.

This dreadful experience was swiftly followed up with a Gary Glitter concert but I cannot remember where.

I honestly haven't a clue.

It must have been at the Glasgow Apollo 1980'ish.
I had a look at the Apollo website for the bands that played in 1980 and am still none the wiser, although I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Stranglers.
