I'm going to begin with The Blood Junkies...an odd little lot. Dennis Pearce on tutu and vocals was joined by the ineffable Piggy on guitar...and Jane and Tessa on supplementary vocals. I have made this odd band my first port of call because Dennis put much effort into his role as chief hack on the Spotlight page in the Chatham Standard for a huge chunk of the 80's....giving rave reviews and dark verbal beatings to many a local band. Forever etched into my cerebral data-bank is their searing rendition of "Ghost Riders In The Sky" at Chatham Town Hall...in a circa 1980 gig. Dennis was an old-school reporter who believed the best way to get your name in a newspaper was to walk across a busy street whilst reading one.
