Love 'em too, great live band, first band I saw live (age 16, bunked off school to see then in the Hummingbird!)

Last few times I saw them, the same guy bellows:

I LOVE YOU GEDGIE!

If he's there, you'll know it!

I saw them for the first time at the Hummingbird, . . . would have been circa 1989?

Yes, '88 or '89ish!

It was winter and freezing cold. We stayed with the slugs on the kitchen floor of a student house in Selly Oak. The factory behind burnt down and all the students opened the back windows to let the heat in.

Amazing gig.

Also saw them a couple of times back in the day. Great band. Gedgie seemed quite pleasant and affable when we met him.

Great band.

Seen quite a few gigs - large population of middle aged men in v neck jumpers in the audience!

Oh why do you, catch my eye
Then turn away...

The weddoes are/were great. Molgrips is talking out of his 'arris, I think he's on a diet or something, probably a bit lightheaded.

I saw them a load of times in the late eighties/early nineties, great live band and gedgie was always sound with the audience.
