They were a pretty good live act - although I would dispute the fact they
were particularly sharp dressers (except in promo photos) having seen them
countless times when bands that I worked with played with them.
First LP - The Big Three is really really good, especially the single Pig
Valentine.
Unfortunately they got dropped before their second album could be released
(although it has now been released) and they have since split up I think.

Stewart Home is a very funny skinhead writer/artist. His books definitely
take Richard Allen's pulp style a couple of steps further.
His live readings are good too. Unlike most authors who read passages
from their books whilst standing at a podium, Stewart actually learns and
recites his work and performs it like he was playing a gig. Lots of
passion - he really means it maan!! :)
He was also one of the first, if not the only author I know of to make a
video promo for one of his books - the music was by the awful band Blood
Sausage and was shot on Brighton Beach.
Cheers
Mick
