March 10th  1978UKHanley Victoria Hall and (later that same evening) Stoke PolytechnicIvan Obrey says: "My mate was stage manager at Victoria Hall Hanley and he worked for the ticket agent. They supplied the bands for Stoke Polytechnic. Someone let them down at last minute, so you stepped in, you weren't billed as playing, the venue was only a couple of miles from the one you'd just done. Same night as the Hanley job. I think Andy may have put a few ceiling tiles out climbing the lighting rig on that one".Eddie and the Hot RodsLife on the LinePoster

March 31st  1978IrelandCork ArcadiaMr Snailchaser he say: "I think the date from your gig list was 31 March 1978, which is listed as Cork Arcadia, the night after Belfast. The venue was actually Portrush, Co Derry in the north. It was originally the Arcadia Ballroom but at that time was called Chester’s New Arcadia. I was a student at the catering college and worked there part time. It’s all a long time ago, but I remember Andy getting quite airborne. I may be confusing things again, but I believe he was waving a lighted fluorescent light around like a light sabre. We may have met but I don’t think so. I did various things there - humping gear in and out, minding the Green room, cooking & so forth. You were probably introduced by DJ Aluminium, Alan Simpson. Most bookings were through Paul Charles. At that time very few bands came because of the 'troubles', but Paul persuaded some because he was a local, from Magherafelt, and promised they’d be safe. One of the bosses, Brian Robinson, was at school with David McWilliams (Days of Pearly Spencer) and he would occasionally drop by.

Chester’s became for a brief period an oasis where everyone came for the music and there was never any trouble. The biggest event by far was the Stiff Tour which had an entourage of 52 travelling in a coach. In England they travelled by train but that wasn’t possible to get to Portrush. We also had the Stranglers, the Undertones (our local band), XTC, Ian Dury & the Blockheads, John Otway, Marianne Faithful, the Darts, the Lurkers, the Damned (who were billed as the Doomed for some reason) and Racing Cars."
