Have got tickets to see these in Wellington, postponed until next year.Not a hugely popular band, but I liked them and this is a great song. I later worked with one of the band members and am still mates with him now.
Ha, my wife, for dare with her mate, rang up Joanne in the early eighties. She had her 2nd name, and found out through one of those daft pop mags that she was still living with her mam and dad. Rang directory enquiries and got the number. Didn't know what to say when he answered, just asked if Joanne was there. She came to the phone and they had a right old natter. In the end Joanne sent my wife quite a bit of free stuff about the band.And another Erimus74

In 97, we saw them at the Coatham, my wife was about 8 months pregnant at the time. There was more people in the band than in the audience, and as Gary got more and more drunk on stage he just said f* it, come up on stage, so we all jumped on the stage and had a boogie.
One of my best gigs ever, they were on stage for about 2 hours.
One of my favourite 12" singles of the day and I loved the hours I spent in the Water Margins of Liang Xiang Po. There was a DVD available but so heavily edited as to be unwatchable. All the violence is edited out and the plot is no longer traceable. I saw it a few years ago in France. I don't know if it's actually even available here.Paul Simpson of The Wild Swans also played with Ian Broudie in Care. This is a great song by them and to make it even better someone has posted a video of The Water Margin with it. Used to love that.
Care - Flaming Sword
Saw China Crisis at The Arc before lockdown. They were dreadful. They were on stage about 2 and half hours but sang/played for about an hour. If I had a pound for every time Walter Becker/Steely Dan got mentioned I'd be a rich man, the pair of them just withered on incessantly between songs.Have got tickets to see these in Wellington, postponed until next year.
