Sorry just seen this - yeah I managed to get hold of a recording of the gig and it isn't their best by any means. The shock of the new counts for a lot, clearly... Hi Simon!

Scott Nobody may have looked the part of a rock star but his flamenco-inflected gtr didn't work at all in the band, and I remember the atmosphere in there being pretty restrained compared to other occasions. I tried looking in vain for Webcore records after seeing them at this night. The Seldiy Bate & Nigel Bourne album is something I am quite fond of and have played at least once a year since the eighties - not every track comes off and there are some John Shuttleworth-esque home organ sounds, but it's a sincere, homespun and genuinely odd disc. Nigel Bourne turned up on TV as a Wiccan spokesman more than once during the 90s, and also appeared as a contestant on 'Countdown' - he didn't do as well as Nick Saloman (aka the Bevis Frond) who became a series champion while sporting Walkingseeds T-shirts and engaging in occasional painful banter with host Richard Whitely about 'psychedelic underground music'. I was watching a lot of daytime TV during the early 90s while recovering from my psychick youth... I was at this too – probably the worst of the five times I saw PTV during the eighties.

He stepped in for a while when Alex left the band and before I was drafted in in 1988. telepathic regards, fred.giannelli The guitarist was probably Scott Nobody.

Their album is a classic "bargain bin play once and forget about it" jobbie. I remember reading about the boat trip but not being able to go... and yeah that run of gigs around London in I guess 84 or so sounded amazing - Temporary Temple in a squatted synagogue, ICA, etc. Oh yes I remember Nigel and Selidy (I think that’s how it’s spelt) – didn’t they just do a short ritual to invoke Brian Jones or something?
