Lots of Dick wittington references I seem to recall. Headbutt are one of my favourite live bands ever, I think, and I was at a lot of their gigs around that time... great people also. S&Q have quite a history but I don't know much about their music really... Hi simon – yeah it was very memorable! Lots of Dick wittington references I seem to recall.

Obviously I wasn't gonna say no :) Didn't know you were at that '96 Smell & Quim, Headbutt etc show John - I was one of the 30 or so loonies in the 'band' that night - as was Lol Coxhill which would look good on my CV if I had one. The best show of that era was a truly crazed Belgium one where we managed to totally freak out and offend a crowd of black-clad ultra-serious Euro-Industro-Goths. RE Gripper:
