I can't imagine they came back to Donny more than the once. Seems like we went to a lot of the same gigs. From that same year did you see ClockDVA at Sheffield Limit Thursday 16th April. Or Throbbing Gristle, Zev, ClockDVA, Non, Cabaret Voltaire at London Lyceum on Sunday 8th February.<br /><br />I never knew Sammy Jackson and have no memories of him from the time despite how freqently I attended his clubs.

During the encore they sang Funhouse and a friend of mine, Nick Lindsey, stole the microphone and continued to sing most of it. He ended up in a massive fight with the band in the dressing room upstairs afterwards. He was always getting into trouble at the club and Sammy (the manager) used to make him pay a £25 deposit to get in and if he didn’t cause any trouble he’d get it back at the end of the night.<br /><br />I can’t take any credit for the Porterhouse blog, I stumbled across it the other day and posted a comment as I had a few more dates I could add. It’s great to see all those dates written down and I can count about 50 that I attended.<br /><br />I’ve just stumbled across a newspaper clipping, from the Sounds, of me laid on my back on the stage at the Porterhouse looking up a B52’s skirt. I’ll have to scan and blog it.<br /> <br />And it sounds like Paula did play with 23 Skidoo from the interview you linked to. Must say I’m very surprised but I certainly don’t want to doubt what she says as she’s had credit taken away on too many occasions.saveitasajpeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399584735346780741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126118203274498241.post-3825418215316895032011-09-22T21:28:28.056+01:002011-09-22T21:28:28.056+01:00Thank You Steve.

That '78 gig by Ultravox! was a great one, they played Lincoln a few days before. Do you remember the guy being dragged around by the hair by Nick Cave, he was Gainsborough Dave - he lived on that story for years - and the guy that used to pretend he had polio and only danced to "Sex & Drugs & Rock n' Roll". Porterhouse was a beautiful venue. I did here wind of someone writing a book on the place, some old local who is now in Scotland. <br />I read an interview by Paula where she claimed to hang and jam with Skidoo boys. (The link is in a comment on my blog "Thee Psychick Month Ov March").<br />Cheers again for writing and your kind words.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00768863335845782635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126118203274498241.post-34649532495558583992011-09-22T13:40:56.361+01:002011-09-22T13:40:56.361+01:00Wow, the memories come flooding back. That looks ...Wow, the memories come flooding back. That looks like some mix tape.<br /><br />I lived in Doncaster and my first gig at the Porterhouse was late 78, Ultravox with Foxx, a magical introduction to a great little club. I was a regular after particularly as it was a Friday night slot on the whole, with a rock night on the Saturday (not for me). Highlights include, Damned as Doomed, Adverts, Penetration, Adam and the Ants (twice), Undertones, UK Subs (when they knew only 3 songs and they played them over and over and over again) The Fall, Gang of Four, B52’s, OMD, Teardrop Explodes, Punilux or Punishment of Luxury, Cabaret Voltaire, Fad Gadget, DAF, Birthday Party ( I wore Nick Cave’s boot print proudly on the chest of my t-shirt for weeks afterwards), Test Department and many, many more. <br /><br />I agree that 23 Skidoo was probably one of the best nights. I remember an incredibly long version of Gregouka with numerous instrument changes throughout. It was a guy called Richard Heslop who did the multiple projections, I believe he was a student at St. Martins at the time. The trumpet you refer to David Tibet playing was actually a Tibetan virgin’s thighbone (that’s what he says and I’m sure he bought it with that understanding). I saw them twice more on the same tour, Sheffield and the Venue in London after which David was kind enough to put me and my girlfriend up for the night. After that gig 23 Skidoo ceased to be a five piece and became a three piece with just the Turnbull brothers and Fritz but I’m sure you know that.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the blog, you’ve got some great posts, really brings it all back.<br /><br />And I’m positive Paula P-Orridge was never a member of 23 Skidoo.<br /><br />Another Steve.saveitasajpeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399584735346780741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126118203274498241.post-61109490090649123442011-05-25T18:50:36.128+01:002011-05-25T18:50:36.128+01:00Hello Jim.

Whilst I was trying to find out why Paula is not mentioned at all on recent Psychic TV re-issues I came across the information (I think WikiPedia) that she was a member of 23 Skidoo - that was news to me, but if anyone is willing to confirm it - I'll believe. <br /><br />Welcome aboard.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00768863335845782635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126118203274498241.post-2962354432804557462011-05-25T10:58:44.282+01:002011-05-25T10:58:44.282+01:00Hi! i just clicked at random on someone following ...Hi! i just clicked at random on someone following GX Jupitter Larsen and boy did I score!
