“I think it was mainly the overdriven bass sound I used on "I'm Falling Apart" that sounded a bit Stranleresque. My amp was an H&H bass combo and the bass guitar was a Westone Thunder 1-A, which I've still got and, apart from having to replace a machine head last year, it's pretty much still in mint condition.”

“@alterednatives:- Can't see Dave Jones or Macca (Angela McEvoy) in this picture.”

“@Sbilts:- Who is he playing with, anyone I know?”

“@dayofthecacti:- Mass did indeed replace Simon on drums. Also, a few years later, Mass & me were both in Johnnies Airforce along with Sbilts (keyboards), Simon White (guitar) and Rob Wild (vocals).”

“Security Force used to practise here in one of the upper rooms before it opened as a club.”

“I know most of the people in this photo. I can make out Drac's Daughter, Leafy, Sid Septic, Dave Ellis and Locky. Anybody recognise any of the others?”

“I think the line up L-R was:-

Colin Mather - Lead Guitar
Dave Edwards - Bass Guitar
Carl (Brammers) Bramley - Vocals
Neil Parker - Drums
Vic (Les) Brown - Rhythm Guitar”

“The first gig I ever played was with Marquis de Sade at a working men's club somewhere or other. I heard that Dave Ellis, the singer, is no longer with us.”

“Hi gaz, I've still got the video of the practise session in the car park behind Ronnie's shop. It features a couple of copper's helmets as well, with coppers underneath 'em!”

“I think I paid you in kind for the 5 quid, Neil.”
