I could have given you a lift back if I'd known Dave. I saw Des Friel and Maartin Alcock that night I think.
As I lived in Salford, right opposite Hope Hospital I could have come through Swinton.
The one thing I remember about that night was that Maartin had a fretless bass, I'd never seen such a thing before and the clever b*****d played it by using just one hand and "hammering-on"
It's not actually that difficult I use it myself sometimes but at the time it was phenomenal.
