Memories on this night
"Punk was moving in fast and we (Lucy) were supporting what's now called 'prog rock' Supercharge from Liverpool. They wouldn't let us use their PA as some bands did. We were paid 20 quid between us.
Lucy (version 1) were a high-energy band featuring future Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen who was just 18 yo at the time. Singer Paul Mewes had a problem with his zipper but bassist Peter Ferris and drummer Len Foster provided a solid base for Phil's razor solos. We finished with a 100mph second encore of Suffragette City. "
