Let's hear it for 70s wrong-place/wrong time, Brecht music hall meets punk meets Roxy Music arty Liverpudlians, Deaf School!
With an eight strong line-up that featured names like Enrico Cadillac Jnr, Betty Bright, Eric Shark, Rev Max Ripple, Cliff Hanger and Mr Average, I saw this band do a blinding set in Cardiff before obscurity beckoned.
Anyone else see them?

In the whole history of Liverpool music, two bands matter most one is The Beatles and the other is Deaf School.
If that seems like a sweeping statement then consider this after the pop revolution of the 1960s led by The Beatles and other Merseyside groups, it looked as if the citys music scene had dried up forever.
But in 1975 there came a motley band of Liverpool art students called Deaf School. And they were the catalyst for the most dramatic revival since Lazarus....
Deaf School were an inspired, chaotic live act who never numbered less than eight and sometimes well into double figures. They played a wild amalgam of cabaret and pop; they were camp and theatrical but rocked like crazy too. They were supreme entertainers.
