Live in Ireland 8th Nov 1984 (David O'Rourke)

Notes:

* 03/04 Jan 1984 - these gigs were billed as a children’s rock ’n’ roll party, the gigs performed in the afternoons. Unclear whether the band played for the over 18s in the evening too.
* 21 Jan 1984 - ‘Out On The Town’ was performed live for the first time
* 28 Feb 1984 - the band flew to Munich to record two live shows for broadcast on German radio - presumably these were the Munich Fesitval, and they played the festival twice.
* 07 May 1984 - the band travelled home from Bahrain
* 10 Aug 1984 - Malcolm Allured did not perform with the band on this date.
* Aug 1984 - Malcolm retired from the band approx. Aug 1984 due to a knee injury. In the run up to leaving, he missed some gigs particularly in April 1984, before returning in May. His last gig with the band was in Wales.
* Some shows later in 1984 had to be postponed (dates unknown) when Dave had an accident at home and had to have treatment to his eye. These were rescheduled for 1985.
* 07 Sep 1984 - gig was originally due to take place on 25th Aug but postponed until this date.
* 27 Oct 1984 - SWW fan club members were able to stay at the camp from Fri to Sun for £32 a head, including all meals, accommodation, facilities, and a ticket to the gig
