The morning after 1988
Definitely looking like a bit of a blurry Saturday morning

Negotiations 1988
By and large, the police didn't bother us too much on the street - in fact I think they liked us for keeping all the winos in one place so they could keep an eye on them easily. Covent Garden Security and the Busking Mafia were another thing entirely - luckily for us, their jurisdiction didn't extend right round the whole of Covent Garden though, so our speciality was to 'fly pitch' on the edge of their area, and they'd have to complain to the police to get us moved. If the cops did turn up they'd generally wait till we'd finished playing before suggesting we might like to move on…

Tony and Joe 1988
Tony doing a spot of crowd control after one special brew too many had been consumed (by Joe, not Tony!)

Moonlighting 1988
This was when Tony was in the States, Steve and Chris were missing the busking so much they went and improvised. Or something…

Da management 1988
Joe was one of the winos who used to keep us company in Covent Garden, and kindly entertain us while we were playing. He was fine until he'd had one too many special brews, at which point Tony sometimes found it necessary to sit on him…

Street Stardom 1988
About as close as we ever got to mixing with the stars anyway…Tony never did find his helicopter, but Madonna eventually nicked that look

A Healthy Edge 1988
We used to pack 'em in round by the Opera House back in the day - it's all been knocked down and turned into offices now. That's progress for you…
