After a couple of
phone calls we arranged with the Disco Bombs to have our one and only rehearsal with Gizz
in their studio. We were somewhat ready. I picked up the merchandise for most of the bands
at the promoter's house then proceeded to the venue. The State Palace is a large concert
hall in the city, I dropped off the boxes then went back to the hotel. By the time I got
back, Alvin and Gizz had been thrown out of the hotel and were standing in the car park in
the high 90 degrees with all the bags for 2 hours.
We arrived at the show as The Vibrators were sound checking. One of Charlie's European Tee
shirt girls, Sandra joined up with us - Alvin immediately christened her "Fi
Fi". The show was not well attended and we played very poorly. When we launched
into the intro to the first song, Gizz was so taken back by the sudden burst of action
that he forgot to play.
