Trash in NME!
A question from Mike Warth, currently writing a history of rock in Reading 1977-1987, got me raiding the Trash archives for the only national press coverage we ever received. Wily Nick Duckett persuaded us to play a party in the garage of his house in Caversham Heights and then sent a review of our performance to the NME claiming that The Garage was a new venue. They fell for it and published the piece, reproduced below together with a picture of me and Mick from the gig itself.
February 1978 – so just the 44 years ago…


What a handsome Dan. Like a young Bryan Ferry!

Well, we were both signed to Polydor at the time. Sadly that is where the resemblance ends…
