1982-Dec, various Italian dates

 

From Vin's collection

Vin Cassidy: “The tour was done as a 3 piece, Larry on bass and vox, me on kit drums and backing tracks and Lee Shallcross, bless him, on percussion. Lee has passed away now so only me for band memories. 

The 6 or 7 date tour was organised by members of the Italian communist party and several of the shows took place in political clubs. The band, John Hurst (sound engineer), equipment and various roadies and tour manager, etc. were all transported in a small fleet of Fiat 127s. It was a bit like the Italian Job but without any money. I know we did Florence and Milan... 

The shows went down really well especially the last one in Florence. We did a storming version of Warhead for an encore.”
