Big Country.

I saw them six months earlier, supported by the ten unsigned Wonderstuff, and Big Country had not played for about six months, and did not want to stop playing.

I have no memory of that gig. I know I was sober as I was the only one who had a working car.

Christine and Shine On were top tunes, as we used to say.

Thanks Alex

What Wiki fails to mention are the spots.

Having visited 398 Kent churches, or there abouts, this is the only Theow I have seen so far.

It is on a memorial to one of the Culpepers who can be found in many Kent churches.

Sorry about the typo, sometimes my fingers go faster than my brain.
