“Thanks Stu, I've corrected it, that means I was all of 15 years old at the time then”

“Hi Stuart, Good to hear from you, hope you are keeping well. Though I agree the name probably needed changing, I have to state quite categorically, for the record, that the choice of name was purely on a musical basis by (I think) me after the George Jones / Big Bopper song White Lightning. The logo, designed by Paul and me likewise was purely a band logo with no hidden agenda - you have to remember I was 13 at the time we formed the band and Paul was 14 - the only right wingers we knew of back then were Steve Coppell and Dennis Tueart. Being a tad older than us I guess you were more sensitive to the possible connotations. The Fall released a version of the song in 1990 as a single, with a not disimilar sleeve and I don't think anyone accused them of having right wing influences. I thought the Rythmaires was your choice of name though? Oh how the memory twists and fades!”

“Yes, thanks for confirming that this was one of Mani's gigs with us, I couldn't quite remember. Do you remember when the Stone Roses were "lost" and we found them in Julies Pantry at Membury Services, on their way back to Rockfield from watching Aerosmith at Wembley? "Bobby Peru" might be able to help on the DH line up”

“Oi Minster no! It was always me on bass for Atoll K, Mani was in the band for a bit but he was on rhythym Guitar. When we played the other grey horse in Oldham, now the castle, I remember he snapped a string during the first tune, went out and borrowed another guitar and returned just in time for the last tune”

“I think you mean "Blyth Power" Mitch, Joseph Porter was that drummer”

“I'd be surprised if he wasn't there! At his gig at Lancashire County Cricket Club (Move Festival 11.7.04) - which is stones throw from the site of the Hardrock/B&Q - where his fave's the New York Dolls were also on the bill, Morrissey mentioned having had tickets to see them play The Hardrock but the show was cancelled (that gig would have been on Nov 9th Nov 1972 but was cancelled as the Doll's original drummer, Billy Murcia had sadly died 3 days earlier on 6th Nov). Morrissey would have been 13 at the time and only lived around the corner on Kings Road, so it was a short walk from his house to the Hardrock. Therefore I guess he probably went to several gigs there, despite his tender years. I know he was a keen gig-goer and lets have it right, its 1972 and Bowie's playing down the end of your road, you're gonna make it your business to get in, or at the very least hang around outside and make a nuisance of yourself. Think the B&Q needs a blue plaque.”
