about

The long awaited - only about 30 years! - live album finally surfaces from the Riverbottom, so get ready to funk it up big style, as this is where this group of Totnes youngsters really got it going on.

The crowds were growing larger and ever mad for it.. but the band was living on borrowed time, as various members soon upped sticks to go to college and the collective drifted apart. So this is about as good as it gets a record of the vibrant, energetic and often inspired performances, warts and all, picked from what remained of the old cassettes recorded at five different concerts at Totnes Civic Hall from 1989-91.

These included benefit gigs for Friends of the Earth, Amnesty International and Greenpeace so, as with the other releases, all proceeds from sales of this album will go to the chosen charity - Rethink Mental Illness.
