Everyone had a band so why not us. I   was the drummer, my sister Dij (Deirdre) was on bass, Kaye (school with my sister) on vocals, Dok (Dermot O’Keefe) on guitar – he had been at school with someone I was at college with which is how we met. There were various other people in and out but that is the only line up we actually played with. Adrian Thrills (O’Dolan) was in for a while, he was in every band including The Nips,

That entire week in Sheffield was brilliant, I don't think I have ever laughed so much, at the gig we were watched by two kids and a dog, the lead for the bass wasn't working and I had actually never played a real drum set before. We managed to avoid the mud wrestling and got threatened with a shot gun. We all stayed in my room, along with a couple of local punks, eating fish fingers and Kaye's famous Cheesy Peas (frozen peas with processed cheese melted over the top). We had no money.

The first gig was in Sheffield in a park on jubilee day. Pape was at college up there. We all piled in Adrian Thrills come with us. They played in the park with all sorts of other bands. Not sure if there was an audience or not...very little one probably and wondering what the hell was going on. What did they sound like..Not bad to be honest. Dok could play guitar. None of the others could really play. It was just a good laugh.

Adrian Thrills reviewing it in his fanzine 48 Thrills No5 at the time remembers differently

They were "fuckin' terrible. At least they knew it and didn't try and make any excuses afterwards.

The band were pissed. They started their first song 'Prince Charles' and 5 seconds later it was over. More false starts and then they launched into 'Roadrunne'r. During their next song 'What a life' the plug was pulled by the promoter.
