My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts

Every gig I have ever seen. Forty-odd years of thud, sweat and beers.

Starting in 1977 and currently covering 1984, if you are a fan of Sheffield music from bands like Cabaret Voltaire and The Human League. Or you like Industrial and Post-Punk music in general, there will be something here for you to check out.

I'm Roger Quail, I grew up in Sheffield and played drums with Clock DVA and The Box in this era.

My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts - Gig 54. Kid Creole and The Coconuts, Sheffield Polytechnic, 16th May 1982.

January 11, 2022 • Roger Quail • Season 5 • Episode 6

Strange days in Sheffield back in the Spring of 1982.

On one hand, we are out shaking our funky butts to the sophisticated NYC street-hustlers Kid Creole and The Coconuts, down at the old Sheffield Poly building on Pond Street; while simultaneously trying not to think about the awful news emerging from the Falklands War on an almost daily basis.

As another New Yorker David Byrne said "this ain't no fooling around."

Thank you to Simon Elliott-Kemp for the intro and outro music, and to Rionagh for the artwork.
