We were accepted into the band and the first gig I was involved with was a talent contest in Chesterfield - The Aquarius Club, 16th August 1974. Not much to do here with regards to lighting, so we all got pissed - ummm, drunkish. I walked onto the stage with my trouser zip wide open (unknown to me - what had I been doing??) - because certain members of the band had disappeared (to acquire and consume the nectar of the Gods) when it was time to parade on stage for the rapturous applause (no comment), so me and JDL had to fill in.

Amongst the 'stars' was a mono-cycle juggler - for gawds sake. The whole gig was quite a flop, but it was fun. It was organised by Geoff Brownhutt.
