DESCRIPTION:
A few songs from Blyth Power recorded at one of the Meanwhile Garden gigs. Free of charge and four events in the summer were organised by the Lancaster Music Co-Operative although the park with the sand bowl next to the Grand Union Canal was entrenched firmly in Westbourne Park West London. Donations into the hat, Grant Showbiz on the sound desk and Protag building the stage and setting up the P.A in the morning. Raymond a regular fixture at Meanwhile Gardens and in the 'scene' generally is there. I am also there somewhere, and I am thanked by Josef for "no apparent reason." I am wearing my 'home produced' Mob / Wilf artwork T shirt! Blyth Power were releasing records on All The Madmen records at this point. The reason this is not a full performance is that the two people filming it were 'experimenting' with different analogue camera options. Basically flicking black and white, flicking negative. Drives you nuts! So I didn't bother to place that footage up sadly as there is a fair chunk of it. That said, although only a few Blyth Power songs are featured, viewers will still be able to get a sense of these wonderful afternoons in the summer, cider in hand, back in the early to mid 1980's.
