Martin Dust Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I remember Marcus very well, he had a story about everything and that wasn't his real name either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1964 Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 "Very nice bloke" Well thanks for saying that Martin, you obviously know me, sorry I don’t recognise your username. That isn’t a full list of bands, flux of pink indians, poison girls, GBH, off the top of my head. They were great gigs. We also put Nico on, from velvet underground fame. Crass was my favourite gig, in fact they were the best live band I ever saw and saw them all around the country. The only trouble I remember inside the Marples, was Chris Long (RIP i believe) going in the womens toilets. Mark Goldthorpe, Artery singer, did go out onto the window sill, it wasn’t what you would call a balcony. I was in touch with Marcus until recently (& saw him July 2006), unfortunately I have been unable to contact him by phone or email and fear the worst.

andy1964 Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 The interesting thing was that Marcus's stories (that I didnt believe at the time turned out to be true). He told me he didnt mind that people thought he made things up, he said just cos they hadnt done things, they couldnt believe that anyone else had. And he did things, he turned up in Sheffield and started record labels and gigs etc, WITH NO MONEY, he acted like he had money. When i met him he had enough money for one tin of cat food, i gave him some money to get some food. When we lived in same house we lived literally on one 17 year olds giro, and what fell into my pocket. We had to move cos we couldnt pay the rent. We carried on doing the gigs. You have to admit Marcus did what he said he would, and as time went on I found proof that he had done what he said he had done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use't to chat on the stairs at the Marples, I hung around with the Mau Maus back in the day, still see the singer every now and then. Only trouble I remember is at the Toy Dolls when a skinhead planted one of those bar stools on someones head, that was the last gig there I think.

Martin Dust Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Was he a nurse? Did he win a medal in the olympics? I don't have a axe to grind with him Andy, he was a laugh and I liked his stories, it's just that one after the other it was a bit hard to take. I remember the time he told the NME that Wattie from the Exploited liked to smoke a pipe and listen to New Order, Wattie didn't even smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
