For those of you who perhaps did not see it back in the day, how's this; a feature from Kerrang, Feb 1985. A year before Indiscreet hit the racks.

Thanks a million for the link! That brought back some great memories I can tell you. And what about Merv in that red suit! Those were the days, eh Merv? Well, it was the '80's after all. Lol.

And talking about the 80's, I've listened to Steve and Jim's recent interview and Steve mentions that the band never played Love Lies Dying, in a live setting. But I saw them play it at the Marquee club (1986?) and Steve introduced it as our new single.

Anybody else remember them playing that live?

So was DD's real name Phil Manchester?

Whatever happened to him?

I last heard of Phil doing an Emerson, Lake & Palmer tribute act, which I almost got to see once, but was poorly (aahhh). He was at the Sheffield gig a while back, spoke briefly after the show.

The picture from Kerrang gave the daughetr a laugh, she went off muttering about how the band should have been arrested by the Style Police!!!!

Philip (and Ruth)

As well as Phil Manchester, Didge is also known as Phil James (I don't know which is his 'real' name, but presumably it's safe to say it's not NOT Didge!)

He appears to be doing an 80s-based one-man show in clubs and pubs - see here: http://www.philjames.me.uk/

Didge Digital (or Phillip Manchester) is on facebook.com and still musically active. Look him up. He's a top man is our Didge!
