john the postman worked in a sorting office from 72 to 80 the shifts that he worked were tailormade for finishing work...getting togged up and out to a gig....he has kept every ticket from gig one...in a shoebox...he also sold records around manchester....his great claim to fame is or was at a buzzcocks gig...the band left the stage...leaving a microphone....this was his big moment....one great leap and he was on stage belting out louie louie.....the big tune from the 60s...who knows why he chose this.....no one will ever know......perhaps he still doesnt know......a ccapello no less...no mean feat....inventing his own version as he performed........he was drunk of course.......now that is pure opportunism....it epitomises the punk era of do it yourself....he says he never performed sober!!!this was his first outing at band on the wall no less....he also says you didnt get many students at the punk gigs....which was good......it was a working class thing........his favourite band were the fall......... watch the vid it might take a while..... if you have broad band youre ok .....ive got rubber band...it takes forever...
