Al Gregg & Laurence Harris before The Clash gig 1978
Rab Fae Beith RIP
Rab Fae Beith RIP
This is the real Rab Fae Beith we'll remember, as shown on his own record label RFB promo calling card where he released The Wall, UK Subs, Discharge and Broken Bones and drummed and managed Three Minute Warning/Four Minds Crack early on, managed The Pack with Kirk Brandon and managed Broken Bones to name only a few. RIP
Al Gregg looking serious
Photo booth marvel, location and date unknown, probably Earth, late 1970s
Another photo booth wonder, from the same period of Terran history
Top smudge - photo taken on the 8th December 1980, soon after, we heard about Lennon being shot.

Al's updated passport July 1982 when he was in The Wall and Three Minute Warning/Four Minds Crack (see badges) placed under him at eleven in the summer of 1974 during the World Cup when he supported Holland, because England hadn't qualified and he had a Dutch aunt. He wore his favourite Chelsea rampant Lion badge t shirt for the photo. For some reason he ripped out the passport page later - he doesn't know why.

Skunx - Line up Three Minute Warning & The Wall, 27 March 1982. Notice a band called 4 Minute Warning were on the bill on March 20, which led to our name change to Four Minds Crack, taken from an Alternative TV song.
510 was a neighbourhood advice centre, funded by the local authority and local charities, which operated during 1975 to 1987 from 510 Harrow Road, W9. The centre was home to many local organisations: CND, ANL, RAR, Black and Asian centre, Anarchist centre, Homeless Centre, Women's Refuge, Crisis, Mental health centre. It provided meeting rooms for activists, rehearsal space for musicians, and shelter for the North Paddington Community Darkroom, played by Crass early on as part of their collective, so bands that were starting out under the Crass banner had somewhere to play. It was the venue for our last gig which we packed out for CND and got two encores.
