Problem Child
11th Nov 2016
 This was the night that the first 250 people in got the 'Dodgy Demo' - 'Love Song/Burglar' signed 7'' single. They did the same at Croydon (- where else...) the following night, also giving away 250 copies. The gig was marred by violence from 'bouncers'. Bassist Algy Ward got pulled off stage and ended up fighting in the bar during the set! For more info see my comments in 45cat of the singles comments.
It was only two members of the Hot Rods - can't remember what name they went under.
Ticket price was £2.
Got a piece of Dave's shirt when he threw it out to the crowd - it's still in the sleeve with my single...

I think they were still going as The Doomed at this point, I made a number of badges with that name on and was hoping to sell them at the gig. But a last minute change of name back to the Damned, made them redundant - still, I sold a few!
