Raymondo Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Back to the Nineties when I was in a band playing the "military" circuit. I'm not sure which is worse...the hair or the shirt! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I remember wearing shorts like that on a gig or two. Yeah, I've had more than a few of my own fashion faux pas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) I've just been sent a couple of video clips of the first pro band I was in, playing live on a European TV show. the singers were pretty cheesy, but the band was good. I was just a few months out of school and they were recorded in December 1968! No, I'm not putting them up here!!!

Festival in Sefton park Another outdoor gig, no idea where but I seem to be using a pick... long time since that's happened! Think this was the Fire Station in Bootle... one of our gigs there turned into a bloody battle between the bouncers and some of the locals involving bottles and snooker cues... In that first photo you all look like an amalgam of Joy Division (guitarist left), Big Country (guitarist centre) and The Smiths (Bassist) 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
