On th...Al Straker (The captain) posting here......<br /><br />On the 'experimental gigs' thing mentioned above I recall that perhaps the first time I saw Stevie Reid and Billy McKenzie playing together was in a band called 'Strange News', who were on at the Student Union of the Art College just before a local Joy Division type band called 'Grey Approach' - then came Boo Hooray, and they were followed in turn by Erasmic Superfoam..... a great night!<br /><br />A witty friend at the time referred to Billy McKenzie as 'Bellowin' Bill' if I recall - and Steve Reid was to be seen sporting a Yamaha SG2000, a short bolero jacket complete with severe assymetric 'designer' haircut - very 'Bill Nelson fan' looking he was,lol.......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
