Help Yourself
Heh. I've just been flicking through Help Yourself's first ever gig on DVD. Recorded in Guildford - 31st Jan 1992 - and shot by world renowned documentary film maker - Jon Croxford. It's all very dark and the sound is really distorted, but you can see Tim on the keyboard (sadly I couldn't find a shot of him wearing the legendary cape), Pat Hughes on Bass, Mike on vocals, Simon Edwards on Guitar, and some skinny kid on drums. There is also footage of Jim with lots of curly hair, Phil with lots of curly hair, and Jane should be in there somewhere though I've yet to find a shot of her. I think even Nick might have been there too(?), but can't quite remember.I've also watched some footage of the Frank Sextet busking in Guildford High Street two days before Christmas 95. Notable if nothing else for the fact that whilst the rest of the band are wearing jeans and whatnot, Mike is impecably turned out in a suit an tie as always.
Anyway, once the Mac is fixed (or I've bought one of those shiny new Intel books), I'll edit the video into something that can be put online.

I was there. You rocked. Tim's cape was spectacular.
Some people don't believe I ever had hair.
