You will be pleased to know that Stan, the singer of the Convulsions also survived his "Satans (system's) Slave" gaffe and is alive and well and living in exile in Balbriggan, Ireland...they will never find him there!!!! PS...I was the first person ever to sing hassled Youth in a pre-convulsions outfit called the Hassled featuring Nogsy (Anti System) on guitar, Pox (Negativz) on bass and Pete/Matt (Convulsions) and me (RAW) on vocals! The Hassled...not to be confused with either the Shitheads from Mars or the Elizabeth street band....it's a long story!

If I were to do that gig now I would shit myself. I can vaguely remember it and didn't seem too bothered at the time 'the innocence of youth'. One of our songs 'Monkey Man' lyrics .. 'You drink seven pints a night, then out with the boys, looking for a fight' 'OOH OOH Monkey Man'. How did I ever make it to 45. I was the instigators vocalist at that gig.
