Ah the 'Purple Hearts' ...... I remember doing a couple of support slots for them with the band I was playing for at the time 'Skavengers the'..one was at the Marquee Wardour Street I thought it was in the summer of 1980 or 81 but looking at the gig listings it might have been earlier as it does not fit with the gigs they did! I do remember thinking the Mod thing was over but hey the 'Purple Hearts' fans were in a que that went right down the street.The other was in Weymouth
