MancWanderer Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 No way!!!! First proper band I saw. Think it was at Band On The Wall about 1978?? Later saw him in Sheffield about 82 when he’d gone solo when he was gigging to promote his single “Homosapien” True pioneer that mon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon boy Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 17 minutes ago, Mr Grey said: Formed at Bolton Institute of Technology, also known as Bolton University and is run by a corrupt VC but thats another story! Tell us more Mr Grey about the corrupt VC It’s puzzled me for a while how a University that’s usually in the lower half of the league tables has the spare cash to sponsor BWFC and also be involved in so many new new enterprises in that area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Howard Devoto wasn't it? Saw them in Perth only a couple of years ago and the energy levels were astonishing. http://www.feelpresents.com/fp_tour/buzzcocks-2/ RIP Pete.

Burndens Bogs Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) "Boredom" was taken from the 1977 EP "Spiral Scratch" and did indeed have Howard Devoto on lead vocals, Shelley co-wrote it and sang backing vocals. Devoto left the band shortly after its release Imo Buzzcocks became a much better band after Devoto fcuked off.. Where's Zozzy when you need him? He was always the resident Buzzcocks aficionado!

"Spiral Scratch" became quite a collector's item because of the small number that were in the original run & quite a few of them were in Bolton because they were stocked & er "sold" at Edwin P Lees. It was later re-released (? ) in larger numbers but i'd guess that an original would still have a reasonable value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrelli Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 RIP Pete Shelley - my first music hero. Loved the intro to 'fast cars' and 'Another Music in a Different Kitchen' is an absolutely classic album. Shelley/Diggle/Garvey/Maher was the best line up! Maher was an excellent drummer. I think Johnny Marr of Smiths fame changed his surname to avoid confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Remember buying “ever fallen in love”from Jackie’s spin a disc in Walkden market, must have played it 1000s of my times on my little fidelity record player. Read his Wikipedia notes, didn’t know he was from Leigh and his dad worked at Astley green pit.

leigh white Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Garth Smith who was in the Buzzcocks before he got sacked lived a few houses up the street from me when I lived in Astley, I bought a copy of the first Spiral Scratch EP from Oldham St in Manc and still got it in my vinyl collection. Watched them on Alexander Park in Moss Side in 78, I actually thought Devoto's band Magazine was better.
