This choice was prompted by a visit made by Gunta and I into London yesterday. The reason for the trip was two fold, to see 'The Face' exhibition currently on at the National Portrait Gallery followed by 'Leigh Bowery' hosted by the Tate Modern on the Southbank. We crossed back over (under) the river on the Northern Line from London Bridge to Angel for something to eat. Later in the evening I was meeting a couple of old school mates in Highbury so we took a slow walk up Upper Street that took us past the 'Screen On The Green', the location of the a pivotal early punk gig that featured the Pistols, The Clash and Buzzcocks. It always thrills me to see one of the venues with a key link to the scene still standing and functioning as a working cinema.
This gig is another of those very early gigs that cemented Buzzcocks as punks leading lights (northern branch). Here at The Band on The Wall in Manchester. The sound is pretty good for it's age and the equipment that was available at the time.
