In the 80's I had a band in Nottingham called The Howdy Boys. One day I turned up for rehearsals to find a drummer ready to audition. This was a bit of a surprise as I didn't want another band member and was quite happy using a basic drum machine. My attitude changed when he told me he'd played with The Fall. "That's it, you're in", was my take but unfortunately the rest of the band decided he was useless and he didn't get the gig. I'd never seen him before or after and never saw him on the Nottingham "scene". I'd say he was about 5'8" ish and a bit stocky, not the ideal tall, skinny photogenic type, but that's drummers for you. This would be around 1981 and he'd be about 22. Can't recall a name. doc valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340158845171034716noreply@blogger.com
