1985

“We played the Embassy Club in London with Chiefs Of Relief – the launch party for Dennis Morris’s Sex Pistols book. The Ad Lib Club. Exeter University. Then we didn’t play until the middle of ’85 when we went to Sweden. I was in Berlin and met this kid whose friend was a promoter so I told him we was a big group from Manchester. He set up about eight or nine shows. We were living in his flat in Stockholm for about a month. It was great. We got in the daily papers (laughs).”

Warehouse 1 - Flower Show flyer 20-07-85A series of warehouse parties in Manchester: “A guy called Steve, who became our tour manager, organised them in the old railway arches in Fairfield Street in Manchester. We used to hire it off British Rail and tell them it was for a party – 3000 people. We had DJs as well. We advertised it as the Flower Show Part 1/Part2/Part3. Then we got our mates to hang outside night-clubs at two in the morning with little flyers showing people where it was” Ian Brown.
