Ah, there's always been something odd about my lack of memory of that gig -- combined with pretty specific memories of the making of the poster itself (which I unwittingly dragged across 25 years and three continents until I rediscovered it deep in an old box a few years ago...). A memento of something that almost certainly never happend -- kinda typical, I guess.

the word from china is that no-one has any memory of it at all. i think we can now safely assume that it wasn't a night where maximum rock'n'roll was reached..

I just thought it was funny that the only other place (that I can remember, at least) that I've seen that damn poster is in a photo of your place, circa 1980 (the Italian Day or whatever it is up on the website). The phrase "small world" keeps coming to mind :-).

(Actually, when this discussion started I couldn't remember where I'd seen the bloody thing before, but suddenly remembered I'd seen it while browsing your site fairly recently).

And if you ever get word from China...

Wow -- that rings a (very vague) bell. Do the Pell Mellers have any memories of this?

But the mystery deepens -- take a look at the left hand corner of this pic ...

tim v can remember it very well - the n-lets had a crash on the way to the gig and so tim was in hospital all night with possible sinal injuries and so they didn't play. another slugfucker has it all mixed up with other gigs at the time so, yes, maybe it never really happened.

This gets better and better -- a long-treasured memento of a gig no one (least of all me, except in the vaguest terms, if at all) can remember... was it always like that? :-)

john laidler (slugs guitarist) can't remember the night either. haven't heard from tim v (n-let) as yet.

A night of anarchic High Seriousness, I'm sure :-).

Actually, if it's the night I sort-of vaguely almost remember(ish), the Slug Fuckers set devolved into a mess of people up the front banging things like hammers, etc., and may have included a short set from the legendary (ha!) Strange Powers of Elvis beforehand.

But I'm probably remembering some other Slug Fuckers gig...

i must have been there but can hardly think of what it might have been like. n-lets then tactics?? cripes.
