Nope! First 2 albums had Barry Andrews, from London, in the band. He left and was replaced by Dave Gregory just in time for Drums And Wires. Making Plans For Nigel is on Side 1.

Given they've been in admin before, at least twice AFAIK, can they go into it again? I wouldn't pay too much attention, they're "on the verge of administration" every few weeks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though he had been living in Swindon for a few years prior to his joining XTC. Jonathon Perkins was on keyboards prior to Barry Andrews; I saw his band Miss World at The Marquee in the early 90s and they were excellent. There is very little of them recorded with this the most representative of their live act. This was a great song and they did an excellent cover of What a Wonderful World. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You played some good stuff back in the day under macarri, ossie and hoddle. First and foremost most of all I'm a football supporter who doesn't want to see any club fold and have supported them since the mid 70's so they've been a large part of my life. I've been to numerous Swindon v Bristol City games both home and away and love the rivalry, banter and Derby experience and have had many good days at Ashton Gate when you were in the old league one 76-80. I get why many would want us out of the football league but I'm sure many older BCFC fans have their own memories and stories to tell after games against us as there's always been an edge without the hostility of say a Cardiff City. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
