Artefact

Photograph
The Cheaters
The Lamplight Club
1981

No Cheaters gig was complete without the appearance of the legendary Chris Barnes. To terrace chants of "Big Barneys Arse", Chris would regularly invade the stage and proceed to drop his trousers mid-song to the delight of both band and audience. He even made it into a Record Mirror review of the band at Didsbury College!
