Fridayz Angelz at the Marquee

Fridayz Angelz at the Legendary Marquee Club in London, where to name but a few,Rock/Pop Icons such as The Who , Rod Stewart and The Rolling Stones have played. My band at the time were Fridayz Angelz (Pictured above) and we played at this venue on Saturday 28th March 1987, as support band to a then, very popular London band , by the name of The Babysitters. We were on the verge of getting onto a major support with the same band around this time, playing such venues as the Hammersmith and the Birmingham Odeon's. For whatever reason, I cannot remember now, the tour never came to be. We return to Coventry and tried to build on our success in London and managed a headline gig at a Night club in Coventry called Busters. What followed was a reshuffle of the line-up, but never really managed to get up the same steam although we returned to London and played The Royal Standard, which was not quite the same. Some support gigs with the Grip, another London band happened at various times in the bands career.
The picture above is one of several which have not seen the light of day for several years and were assumed to be lost until they turned up in the cellar of Iain (pictured far right) while he was clearing it out. There were about 40 photo's taken but we only have about 4 left that were found.
One memory of this time, that springs to mind was the music that we were listening to on our way down in the minibus. I think the day before the gig, I had purchased an album by a rock band called The Cult, 'Electric'. It was such a pumped up rock album with it's massive guitar riffs on such tracks as Love Removal Machine and Lil'Devil. I had to copy it over onto a cassette tape so we could play it on the minibus. We travelled down to London in 2 minibuses, one with the band and gear in and the second one with our close but small, faithful followers in. We also played a gig in Rugby( as a warm up for the Marquee) the night before, at a place called The Blitz. I think it was a nightclub at the time,although now I think it is a wine bar, that is if it is still there!
