I saw them at Hammy Odeon too in the mid 70s and they were utterly brilliant prompting a long trek to Cardiff that summer to see them with Budgie and Hawkwind.
There are few bands who have fucked their own legend so comprehensively but from their point of view I guess all that post Live Aid exposure as a cabaret boogie act made their fortune. So they wont be complaining but I bet Coughlan and Lancaster aren't best pleased.
25 years since Lancaster got ousted and there are still people asking "who the **** is John Edwards?"
