As a starting point, they were originally formed in Manchester in 1968 as Brownsville Jug Band & changed name in early 70's at the suggestion of their then agent, Jasper Carrot. It was felt that the role of the 'jug' in question had been subsumed by the band's behaviour to the extent that the 'Banned' epithet seemed more appropriate - and indeed it was - we were actually banned from several gigs for various reasons, especially the 'punk rock' number!
The Banned continued up to 1984 & I was with them until then.
As anyone who saw us will have realised, I was the only normal person in Brownsville and so feel qualified to satisfy any request for information (or the inside story of Norman Mills or Teddy).
