Mostly correct, but the band was Radio Birdman and at a legendary gig at the Cross in the late 70’s they gave young Peter a “Radio Birdman Number 1 Fan” t-shirt. Curiously Dreadful Norman, played by Rob Younger, and bitey bob Deniz never compromised their principles (even with the Zeno Beach album), but perhaps they never joined the ALP.

Shame on you FD.
That’s an appalling slander on saint Kevin Bloody Wilson.
You certainly won’t be getting that bike for Christmas this year.
