Loading ...Chelsea had just been promoted from the old 2nd division in ’84 and they were having a party at the ground before the last home game to celebrate, so we chanced it — ‘there’s no harm in popping in to see Ken Bates’ (chairman at the time).
The following Saturday we’re setting our equipment up on the pitch in front of the then main (east ) stand, ground starts to fill up, about 15 –20,000 in at this point (about 2pm). We run through 5 songs to a good response , polite round of applause and no abuse! Pat Nevin the only indie footballer of the day wrote about us, some major labels invited us in for demos, our hype was better than the sound of the band, we released a indie single and faded away, that was that.
At least we can always say we started at stadiums and worked our way down.
