HAHA I have a couple of tapes too, need to get them form my parents house and see how fantastic we were! Good to hear from you to. I've lost touch with most people as well though I still regularly see Ian and pass messages to Craig infrequently, so that's most of the band and if you're in touch weit...

HOFF HOFF HOFF How the devil are you? What you doin, where are you etc etc etc??? How could I forget House at Pooh Corner, what an awful name what was i thinking? Heady mix of The cure, the smiths, spear of destiny and REM. Elsewhere on here Craig and I reminisced about singing Liberator.... IIIIIII...

Films in the 80's (well 82-89 while I was there) were shown in the Theatre on a Sunday night. The films were orgnaised by Roger Martin and though I was invovled in the theatre I never got involved in the set up of films. Though it did mean we got to go into the theatre first and choose the best seat...

Thanks, my birthday was always in the last week of Term before I went to CH, and the it usually was on the last couple of days of Scouts Summer Camp of D of E expeditions while I was there. speaking of scouts isn't that a coincidence as I just happpened across this picture via a very odd route on t...

Now you have reminded me I remember you shouting it, but I can't remember who to - was it someone like Dom? It was Rick Slater, the trade off was I got to say B*****d and he got to shout potato head in a welsh accent, a sly dig at Taffy Williams. Thanks Craig. Have plugged amp into macbook. Hope it...

anyone remembers them The Bolshoi Not only do I remember The Bolshoi I bought the re-issued Friends album just a couple of weeks ago and was listneing to it in the car yesterday! I remember those days when each house had to put on a piece in chapel. We played Depeche Mode People are People after do...

Atilla The Stockbroker is fantastic, Airstrip One is one of my favourites of his.

which is what the original rapping was. Music, like history just goes in circles. It's like goths today, it makes me smile to see them and remember some of the dodgy clothes and haircuts people had in our time.

There was a lot of 'urban' (I use that word loosely) music as well.... If we're talking rap then Phil Messenger is responsible for my love of Run DMC, Public Enemy, Eric B and Rakim and loads I can't remember. he was the rap king. I have to say that my early Barnes B exposure to David Bowie, The Cu...

you would appreciate this little fact that a mate of one of my friends is Porl Thompson's brother, and runs Parched Art who did all the late 80's and 90's cure artwork. Undy Vella! Yep still a big Cure fan.... I remember the goth thing being big, but still being in a minority of one of Electronica ...

During my time at CH there were a range of musical 'fashions' if thats the right word. For example there was a period when everyone seemed to be listening to Psychobilly music e.g. King Kurt, Long Tall Texans, Guana Batz, Demented are Go, The Cramps and The Meteors (whom allegedly Alison Muir a one ...

Was the midi system a pdp8 or 11 ? I know it was a donation from Ciba Geigy and seem to remember that only 10 people could log on or the 11th timed out while trying to enter their password. God that's a good memory. I remember being very proud when I think i was the (or one of the) first second yea...

Seems a pretty lame "excuse" to me. When I went to Uni I ended up working for a PA company ending up as a monitor engineer and it is trivial to cover the important bits from all but the worst. I think it must have been our grecians when it moved inside (i think you left same year as me) a...

that is why they moved it indoors after 2 years Actually fairly sure it was the uncertainty of the British weather that forced it (or at least kept it) inside. The PA company wouldn't let us use their kit outside unless we could guarantee to keep it dry and we couldn't get any extra cash to pay for...

Underneath the Octagon was pretty good if I remember rightly.
