Gave Lowestoft a real boost BEFORE being ripped out and sold abroad. The local community responded in kind https://lowestoftoldandnow.org/painting/banksy-vending-machine
Hey Steve,
I was just googling and found your site. So cool. What’s even better, is the Ripcord, RMD, Maniac flyer for the William Morris club.
So… I was the drummer with Real Molesworth Dirt and would love to know where the tape of the gig can be found. Just for shits and giggles. Look forward to your response. Cheers
