If you zoom right in, you can see a poster advertising an early gig for The Wild Bunch, supporting Chakk for Artists Against Apartheid.

Would’ve been getting to know Stephen and Debbie porter around this time too via the lush message board. We went up to Derry a few times for his inertia nights. Lovely people and still throwing good parties up there, fair to play him!

As per remarks pretty early mention of House for a flyer
On Thursday 11 June 1986 we threw this party in Nottingham - a benefit for striking printworkers with our local hero @graemepark playing the music at the Barracuda club, hosted by the inimitable James Baillie @houseofbaxtergrooming Handcut stencil screenprint poster by me, a homage to Trouble Funk sleeve artwork. Funk the election!

Yes shortly after the first two House Sound of Chicago comps but still six months before the beginning of the acid house boom

Came across this Smash Hits review of Talk Talk’s 1986 concert on the excellent Like Punk Never Happened archive. Elegant balance between the flippant observations of the group’s appearance and nailing the essence of what they were working to achieve. (Sorry the type’s quite small in the image…)

You can just hear this in the voice of a pirate radio announcer from the time
This was an amazing festival. Spent 4 days stumbling from stage to stage, but some amazing perfomances, and what a lineup.

I went in 97 we were all geared up for Fela Kuti but he pulled out at the last minute and sadly died later that year. Saw david bowie doing his D n B thing which was an experience and NuYorican Soul played the last day sunday evening in the Jazz FM tent which was totally incredible. They had the full band on stage and played the whole album. Was a mad combination of acts looking back.
