Another fun hot sweaty night at the Half Moon Putney, with faces old and new in the band. This was a warm up gig for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and times at a fairly mean 84 minutes. They played for just over 20 minutes and took a break, then returned to play their Edinburgh set. The 1984 Edinburgh Festival Fringe saw Hank and the Wangfords achieve fame (if not fortune) with their show being nominated for the Perrier Award. Fringe Sunday also saw the importation to Edinburgh of the sport of cow-pat flinging. Unfortunately, this required hard cow-pats as an essential part of the process. BBC Radio 1 DJ Andy Kershaw had to put out an appeal for cow-pats which later had to be dried in a microwave oven for them to work successfully!

This recording was on 2 cassettes, I have no idea why after all this time.
