Second Time Around For
ACANTHUS

On Wednesday 20th October 1982 I was back at The Theatre in Chipping Norton to see (for a second time) ACANTHUS. This was the band that featured my then swimming coach TERRY BREEZE on keyboards and backing vocals. Although I had seen the band before and knew I was going to see them again in just over a month I wanted to see the band again as Terry had also become a good friend.

This time the band performed more of their own material, but still found time to perform two old rock classics such as BLACK NIGHT and PARANOID.

• SIMON FIELD - Vocals & Guitar
• GARY WARMINGTON - Bass
• TERRY BREEZE - Keyboards
• ALAN DRINKWATER - Drums

After the show I purchased a copy of The Whinging Album 'Clutching At Straws' catalogue number WFE 101 (cover pictured below) which featured a song by the band called VALLEY OF THE UNLOVED.
