Old article but a quality one.
Thought I would post it on the Bunker thread as I was talking to Kenny Sanger recently and we were saying about Dickie and how he was a massive influence to many young guitarists in the Bunker.

Fifty is too young, even for a man who lived a life that was big and fast. But also because it most likely spells the true death for Leatherface, the greatest British punk band of the modern era ...

Melancholia and raw pain: the sad end of Leatherface

Remember seeing them in Manor Quay. Weren’t a patch on the original line up, lead by a bloke who looked like how I’d imagine The Boston Strangler would look. Not a fan.
Baz Warne?! The Stranglers are one of the few bands that have been able to carry on really successfully without their original lead singer.

I thought the Bunker students/staff were excellent musicians at the Chaplins buskers evening last night.

The Ramellos + The Embers + Guests
The Bunker, Sunderland,Sat 8th June 2024
The Ramellos + The Embers + Guests take on The Bunker. Our venue hosts the best local talent, and this evening won't be any different.
Doors open at 7 PM.
Used to practice in there (Borough Road) in the late 80s, early 90s and then go to Washington Services, wasted, until about 6am cos it was the only place open all night, back then.

Happy birthday forty one years old .
Flux of Pink Indians, the System, Alternative, Andy T, Annie Anxiety, Psycho Faction and local band Side Effects played our fist gig at the new Bunker.
None of us at that first gig would of thought that this would be a continuous music project for over the next 40 years, it's still growing and has over the last few years been putting more and more gigs on. Thanks to Kenny Sanger and the Bunker CIC team and all the people who've kept the project going for over 40 years.
This must be one the best documented gigs we've got, massive thanks to Steven Gray, Craig Hetherington, Jill Christie and John Longstaff for the photos, thanks to Will Binks for Still Dying Fanzine Review.

Remember it getting raided by coppers before the bands coming on. Running around handing our stash of cans and cider to older lads. Flux were magnificent , and possibly the best to open the new Bunker as headliner.Happy birthday forty one years old .
