I remember sitting in the cafe in the Sheaf market surrounded by sparrows and pidgeons trying to nick my sandwich.

Internetowl Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 and just to add - YOP schemes - almost compulsory - legalised slavery for 25 quid a week - fake promises of jobs at the end - we were just too stupid to realise the next intake of cheap labour would be there instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_fcs Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 yes, fcs was the f... city sh..ters and i was their drummer! you were lucky if you missed us! was there a smelly record shop run by an angry old man on norfolk street in 1983? might have been another street but the racks were jam packed with tattered cardboard sleeves, and it wasn't hitsville or that one on the wicker.

pete_fcs Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 the fcs once got nick reynolds to announce on radio sheffield that there would be a guided tour of sheffield by me and lou (fcs guitarist) . we would take people around places in sheffield where "the fcs had practiced, gigged, and generally hung around"! it went on: "anyone interested can meet pete and lou in the peace gardens tomorrow at one o'clock...and it says here 'bring a bottle (optional)'". no-one turned up! radio hallam also once interviewed pulp in the peace gardens when they had breakfast there one morning as a publicity stunt. they were pretty unknown at the time, and i think steve genn (mr morality) is mentioned.... but i thought it was his brother who was in pulp at the time rather than steve. anyone shed any light? ok i'm off to buy an anorak...
