Re: (TV) Conversation starter (off topic)



Saw the pair of them support Squeeze, May'81 at The
Rainbow (now defunct, or was when I was working down
Seven Sisters Road early '90's).  Remember a toon
called 'Head-Butts' - involved whacking a microphone
around with a guitar ala Bjorn Bjorg.  At the end
Otway says "bollox - see you all at the bar", and
indeed they were there. Quaint (have I spelt that
right) characters.
