1982
After the Vital Disorders supported The Higsons at UEA LCR, Suzi , Chet and I were invited to augment the horns for half a dozen gigs in London and Bristol, as well as sessions for Capital Radio and Radio 1. The version of Burn The Shit House Down, renamed Burn The Whole Thing Down for the David Jensen session at Maida Vale Studio, is on the home page sampler. Chet continued to play with the band, which is still remembered fondly as one of the better-known bands associated with Norwich - they were favourites of John Peel and topped the early to mid 80s indie charts.
These tracks are taken from a rehearsal I recorded at UEA Village.
