Fond Fond memories of dear Ol' Runton,first gig there with my best buddy Clash Dave,we reckon he was around 11 at the time.Hot sweaty and scary for us young innocent(?) kids from Norwich,Splodgenessabounds with Anna running around collecting empty Breaker cans to hurl at them and the wonderfully awful Aunty Pus supporting,Cookie the Norfolk Giant haystacks ching Kev davies across the back of the stage with an already bloodstained shirt,Kev Cullabine on more than one occassion declaring himself the one and ONLY President of the Norwich Punx,travelling on the train with Gary Harrison hiding under a pile of bags in the door only to be revealed to the inspector by Jonty !

Me,Gary Harrison and younger Bro Mick walking home,yes walking,from Runton... more memories to follow.....
