I think I have a Magic Bastards 7" somewhere; something tells me I saw them supporting Mega City Four in that London once. I also recall Hellbastard, and for that matter, Bastard, and of course, the mighty Bastard Kestel- saw all three once I think on a deliberately bastard-themed evening, possibly at the 1in12 in Bradford, or it may even have been a rare decent gig in my old hometown of Halifax in the late 80s...
For the record, I fondly remember such great local talent as The Cannibal Swamp Rabbits, Bogshed, Chinese Gangster Element, The Psycho Surgeons, Salvation, Another Cuba, The Vaynes, Langfield Crane, Wonky Alice, Eggbread, Cody Beach... all active around the West Yorkshire area roughly 86-95. If any of these names mean anything to anyone on here I shall be well chuffed!

Salvation...my mate Biggy was their roadie....apparent;ly the world's worst roadie according to some venue in London.
And I thought Wonky Alice were from Manc but I'm often wrong. Perhaps one of their members was from Manchester Town.
Coming from Lincoln my list will be fairly short...

Yeah, I think Wonky Alice were actually from Oldham; not geographically that far away from me though, despite technically being "across the border." They used to play the Return Club in Halifax all the time, great quirky space-pop sound... I should also mention Burnley's Dandelion Adventure, brilliant churning Fall-Membranes madness!

Def Lepard used to play at the local pub regularly when I was a nipper, I hated all that spandex type shite so never went to see em.
The Cropdusters weren't partic local but used to whizz along the south coast to see em regularly for a spell.
The Void (or was it Voidoids :-/) were "the worst punk band in the world" and they made lots of noise and weren't that good but round where I was I took what I could get

I thought there was a big thing made at the time about how the 2 4AD acts came from nowhere & didn't really go through a garage level of being. Thought some people from the area were sounding pretty jealous that they didn't go through that.
Not sure though since a handful of 87 dates have turned up on dime.
& wasn't Come On Pilgrim sent out as a demo, possibly their 2nd one but released almost as was. Though a couple of tracks were dropped & only emerged when a compi I can't remember the name of appeared.
When did the black female bassist leave the Muses? & how long an ionterval was there before Tanya Donnelly followed? Trying to date a clip of them I have.

Thats good to hear, thanks for that. (and a Bevis Frond connection! Blimey) Any news on Ted or Stan?
There was a bit of correspondance on here a while back with one of the people involved with the 45 revolutions book (I think?) who was a Weekend Girl fan:

There've been a couple of torrents by these recently on dime. Possibly in the wake of the Hawkwind sets but Bevis frond has had a couple up there for a while longer too.
