Covers most of my time in Edinburgh, so saw a fair number of them as they gigged locally. Same as you, some weren’t for me, but there are a few that stand up still: Aztec Camera & Orange Juice in particular, but also been going back to Josef K occasionally. Just wish Roddy Frame was putting out records at regular intervals.
Now where did I put that Scars lp? It’s in the man-cave somewhere…..
That looks like a giggle.
I'm in That London on that day, otherwise I'd think about it.
Further to the mention of the Rezillos, this popped up on Twitter thi morning:
Agreed. Fun enough at the time tho’. Faye Fife’s still making music - stumbled across something on line a few weeks ago.
I have the first "Rezillos" album somewhere.
Haven't listened to it in an age. I'm fearing it may not have aged well.

That'll be worth a read.
There was a heck of a lot of high end musicians came through in that period.
A lot of the music wasn't to my taste but it was an interesting time culturally.
