[Keith Watson] Who also did name themselves after the housing estate in Glasgow - which was slightly confusing given that they were from Manchester (at least as far as my memory serves me).
Yes, I think that's where they were from. They had a song called Whistling in the Dark, about the miners' strike, so they might have been loony lefties like The Style Council and The Redskins, who also had cracking songs about or inspired by the miners' strike.
[Hopkins T] Easterhouse were, in my humble _not very good_. I seem to remember that they were supporters of the Revolutionary Communist Party, who were, indeed, revolutionary communists of a sort. The sort whose membership is primarily students and who charge very large fees for the privelige of being a mamber of their organisation. Malcolm Eden, singer in the late, lamented McCarthy was also once a member of that particular 'party', choosing to leave to pursue his pop activities because he reckoned that McCarthy would be more effective way to wreak havoc on the establishment, or somesuch. Did he make the right decision, kids? You decide. The Redskins, on the other hand, were members of the Socialist Workers Party, sworn enemies of the RCP. Does it make any difference, kids? You decide. I remember, back in the mid-eighties, Steven Wells (SWP) devoting a huge chunk of an NME singles review column to the Redskins, going on about how fantastic it was that folks were putting politics into music, then giving Easterhouse a very dismissive couple of words. Paul Weller was, by the time of the Miners' Strike, full on for the Labour Party and loved by all. Shame that that Paul died and was relaced by an evil machine bent on taking over the world by boring us all to death.
