Notes
We was invited by Tim Souster, who bad an evening using the ball to do what we liked with. I believe he'd heard our second LP, asked us on the strength of that. He discovered us on the way to discovering Motown. Via the Who, I think. Anyway it was brave of him to invite us despite the withering contempt of the posh music establishment. Before our bit, I went out the back for a quick fag and then the doorman didn't want to let me back in. ''I've got to play in there'', I said. ''you must be kidding, son'', he said, '' they only have proper music in there''. Not that night they didn't.
