Blyth Power - Nottingham Conference University & Sutton Cum Lound - September 1984
It probably will not be a surprise to inform all you lot, that for a while in the mid-eighties, Blyth Power were one of my favourite bands, and the bands live performances were some of the highlights of that era.
This mixing desk audio is taken from the first two times that Blyth Power performed outside of London, the eighth and ninth gig, and almost three months after the bands seventh gig at Meanwhile Gardens in June.
This recording is Blyth Power's eighth and ninth gig. That is correct - 8 & 9.
By September, the band had improved slightly since the previous performance at Meanwhile Gardens in June, although there were still bum-notes and mistakes. The band's performances improved further by the early months of 1985 and kicked off from there.

It probably will not be a surprise to inform all you lot, that for a while in the mid-eighties, Blyth Power were one of my favourite bands, and the bands live performances were some of the highlights of that era.
This mixing desk audio is taken from the first two times that Blyth Power performed outside of London, the eighth and ninth gig, and almost three months after the bands seventh gig at Meanwhile Gardens in June.
This recording is Blyth Power's eighth and ninth gig. That is correct - 8 & 9.
By September, the band had improved slightly since the previous performance at Meanwhile Gardens in June, although there were still bum-notes and mistakes. The band's performances improved further by the early months of 1985 and kicked off from there.
Blyth Power ending up being one of the best live bands on the circuit.
Joseph Porter had started writing and singing one his own compositions for The Mob toward the end of that bands lifespan in 1983. The track ‘Hurling Time’. A soon to be Blyth Power ‘dirge’ (as Joseph likes to call some of his own material) was performed at the very last gig that The Mob performed at in Doncaster with Passion Killers and Benjamin Zephaniah.
Mark Mob drove away in his converted truck from the stresses of London squats, co-op housing (and performing in The Mob) to live a simpler existence at Pooh Corner. The two other members of the Mob were slightly at odds at what to do.
Joseph and Curtis roped in Brougham Road resident and ex Faction member Neil Keenan, and started practising a host of Joseph's original compositions and a few cover versions down in the basement of 96 Brougham Road, the home of J.C and also base for All The Madmen Records run by Rob Challice, ex Anthrax and Faction.
It was this three piece line up that performed at the Bingo Hall squat in Islington (now the Garage, a mainstream music venue) just a few weeks after The Mob had folded. Two gigs in the middle of February 1984. Val Drayton ex-KYPP and Elaine ex-Hagar The Womb, were invited to perform the backing vocals for these performances.
The band did not perform again until the middle of May. Those performances were at the squatted pub ‘The Hemingford Arms’ in which Blyth Power performed with The Mayday Theatre group, incidental music to a play entitled ‘Mother’ by Berthol Brecht. Those performance continued nightly until the end of May. A very strange residency for sure!
Other notable performances in 1984 were three shows at Meanwhile Gardens in the summer.
The debut studio recordings, a demo recorded in March 1984 is wonderful, but very basic. Again this was the three piece line-up.
In December of 1984 the band decided to record a demo in the basement of 96 Brougham Road, with Protags mixing board. Protag and Grant Showbiz were the sound men for the Meanwhile Gardens events. Protag was also an ex-Instant Automation.
Sarah Lewington, originally from Leeds who had been mixing it up in the squats of London for a couple of years was invited to perform backing vocals during these sessions, making the band a four piece.
The finished product was released as ‘A Little Touch Of Harry’ on 96 Tapes run by soon to be All The Madmen manager, Rob Challice.
The tracks that appeared on the cassette are (in my opinion) absolutely wonderful, and brought a fuller sound with Sarah on the vocals, Curtis’s basslines still seemed reminiscent of The Mob, Josephs lyrics seemed wacky at first but on further investigation dealt with contemporary issues. Neil's buzz-saw guitar sounded , well great.
All in all things were going well. The cassette sold well over 1000 copies in less than six months of release, not bad sales at all, booklets were reprinted, tapes were re-released, and professionally reproduced.
At the beginning of 1985, Andy Morgan was invited by Joseph to add further backing vocals. The five piece line-up. If memory serves me correctly Andy not only used to help at All The Madmen records, but also had a fair amount to do with the Street Level studio's, and also performed in the Hamburger All Stars, a band affiliated with Street Level.
The five piece line up made their live debut at The Pinder Of Wakefield pub in Kings Cross in February 1985.
The band got stronger and tighter with this line up and the live performances were by this time becoming known by general punky riff raff, and the music press alike.
Soon a small piece in Zig Zag magazine would increase the interest. The cassette on Rob Challice’s 96 Tapes sold well over 1000 copies in less than six months of release, not bad sales at all, booklets were reprinted, tapes were again professionally reproduced.
Rob then got to work on organising the recording sessions at Street Level that would be released as ‘Chevy Chase’, and the 12″ was released in August 1985 and became the first release on All The Madmen since the Zos Kia 7″ single released in 1984.
