Not sure of exact date of this gig, but it
was over the 1985 August bank holiday weekend. This gig featured Rick
Willson (Danny's brother) on lead guitar who was playing with the band for
the first time. Ray Martinez was always going to be Russ's replacement,
but had other commitments for a few gigs, hence Rick filled in.
