$2.50 and "Bring Your Own Grog!!"

This is the poster designed by Warwick Gilbert for the famous Paddington Town Hall gig, the only time they played with the Saints (who could suffer that twice). Those were the days when you could have a great night out for $2.50 and could bring your own piss!!

The shirt off Warwick Gilbert's Back!!

The shirt off Warwick Gilbert's Back!! - His "uniform for his last tour with the band.

I like the Rob cartoon - nothing is more true!!

Birdman In America?

If only it had been a van of love not hate. They made it in the end (well some of them). Top pic a very late gig poster at the "Earl" OK Productions do their own promotional posters.

Bottom pic is US Sire release (SRK 6050) with really thin paper insert. I suppose the deletion cut says it all.

Radio Birdman In England Part 2

Top pic Sire Sampler " The Sire Machine Turns You Up" (SMP1) with Hand Of Law as track 4 on side 2.

Bottom pic - They have come back - just like a bad curry!! 2003 tour poster.

Birdman in Mother England Pt. 1

Ah on tour in England, all the chums in a cosy Combi - Happy days. Lucky no fucker had a gun!!

Top pic is the "Anglo Strike" poster and bottom pic is Ram mag full page ad. for the Flamin' Groovies tour with the lads as support. All was well until Cyril Jordan couldn't hold his piss - so to speak - and cut his hand on a broken bottle. Flamin' pisshead.

Deniz, Ron & Pip After Birdman

Deniz, Ron & Pip after Birdman went on to form The Visitors with Mark Sisto on vocals and Steve Harris on bass. Top poster is a pretty early one designed by Warwick Gilbert and purchased from Mark Kingsmill.

Bottom poster "The Death of the Visitors" could comfortably described as a fairly late one. The band Comrades of War was basically Birdman with Kannis on vocals, well that's what I was told.

PS: Nice "Bird-Mobile" MarkG!!

The lads and their 7 Inchers - the good the bad an the ugly
