Still got their Ist single, 'No Town Hall' about Southwark's gentrification plans of the time. Knew they played squat benefits back in the day but didn't realise he was a Villa Rd resident.

I've a bunch of singles of theirs including that one. They also did a peel session which I have on tape. Met them when they played at a SWP rally in Skegness. Also at Rock Against Racism benefits and an anti-fascist march in Leicester.
