SPECS - Some Place Else Club
|
First ever Basins gig at SPECS in Palmerston Rd on January 15 1985, with Dave Allen on vocals and Lenny Tench(?)on drumsThe Reds. The Reds were Steve Browning (centre, bass guitar) with Dave Allen on the left (vocals) followed by Steve Cole on guitar. On keyboards right is the much lamented Brian Kemp and back on drums the shy retiring L Tench esq. The other guitarist was Jim Zimmer. The occasion is the launch of the famous Basins Club run by Chris Abbott and Jim Lawrence. This was at Some Place Else Club (SPECs) and this band, the Reds, opened the night supporting London R&B band Wolfie Witcher’s Brew. |
