Classic night of post-punk. Red Crayola got such a great reception that they were back a few weeks later with Gang Of Four.
2022[6]
Red Crayola so popular first time round that @MickMikelt booked them back again a month later. In my memory, RC blew the headliners off stage both times. Micro Chips & Fish 12” just out. Gina Birch, Epic Soundtracks & Lora Logic joined Mayo Thompson.

Red Crayola were good, Swell Maps were mediocre and the Tours were reputedly on stage at one point. I was not aware that Laura Logic was on sax for the Red Crayola set, and having seen Essential Logic with the Damned at the Lyceum I was not thrilled to hear it. However, she played more imaginatively and not at any time was I reminded of X-Ray Spex with whom she served a useful apprenticeship. It was more of a fun set than a serious musical contribution. I was also informed that this was due to their formation being a one-off string of appearances over a few months as well as a dash of recording ventures. The Swell Maps were received quite well after forcing their recognition during a pose among the punters. Cor! Wow! Hyperstars! Ugh! Their set I found boring, at best mediocre, being interspersed with Nelly and co using the stage for rehearsals for a forthcoming appearance on Come Dancing (supporting programme for the Southampton version of Grease – to be screened soon folks). The lager was quite good, insisting on an encore after a visit to the chippy. Oh and the Tours did a set.
