I was at most of those and also UB40 & Specials & Grupo Sportivo

Getting back to Strangeways I grew up living next door to fellow band member Bob Marsden and Baz Snaith lived at the end of the street. Was chatting to Bob re pretenders just the other week. Pretenders played support to Strangeways !! I also remember dashing home from school to see Strangeways on the kids tv programme Get It Together. Other local bands of the time were Tradition and Stranger Than Fiction

Iron Maiden
Vardis
The Sweet
Limelight

It was always a good night at Unity Hall 'cos most of the folk there were from Wakey.

Vardis playing there again in December!

Yeah he Did mention it! He suggested a reunion tour a while since aparantly but one of the other guys said a big no no.

Yep;. It's like 1982 all over again! They are recording a new Album to be released next year. Hope it's better than their last one (Vigilante) and doesn't sound like old men with now't better to do!

never saw any bands, but i do remember going to the trinity member meetings, especially the one where they announced they were selling shares!

It's a lovely venue but they need to sort out the sound problems, and not running out of beer half way through a gig as happened during Tv Smith's spot a few weeks since.

I saw the Tourist's there as well good nite was had.

Did Be Bop Deluxe ever play at Unity?
My memory is fading!
I saw them a number of times at various venues and I thought that one was at Unity, but no one has mentioned them on their 'lists'.
Anyone remember, can confirm or otherwise and help jog my memory.

Bitter sweet, now that brings back memories. Method and Ponders end anyone?
