Skidmarks was a business originally set up by both me and John Flush (not his real surname) on the Enterprise Allowance Scheme. But once the £40 a week subsidy from the government ran out, I was out of it and John carried on in partnership with his girlfriend Claire.... But we also all had a band together, me on guitar, John on bass and Claire siinging (as Dolly Zippy), and various drummers but ending up with our best one Ade L. Vice (from Community Copyart). And yes, we did songs with titles including both Towards A Gay Communism and Say No To Democracy! But I think we only ever played friend's party's and my art openings... It was a strange but fabulous time. Very funny to read your take on it... I saw Wire, The Banshees and The Fall more than once back in the 1970s and PTV at their first gig only..... Gaye Bykers where after my time..... But sounds like you had a top day out....

Ian - yeah I still reckon they can pull it off these days judging by a live set I saw on the telly a while back of "The Creatures" doing some mininmal percussive biz with Siouxsie over the top... Loki - just to confuse matters the live LP combines tracks from this with the '88 Astoria gig, I think that's where the jack the tab stuff hails from - more on that gig anon, of course!

(if a little camp etc) never heard that PTV set but there are 2 tracks from the Jack The Tab album on there? Would've liked to see how they panned out... well, I just like the idea of a supertent, though I read it first as superted…

Julian cope was on first and I arrived half way through his set before being blown away by Siouxsie. One of the best stage performances I have seen but I can't remember exactly when it was (I know it was between 1985 and 1990).
