Remembering Olde Bristol: Shoes For Industry

The War of the Potatoes (1980)

Shoes For Industry: a bunch of oddballs who recorded an album called Talk Like A Whelk (1980) for the Fried Egg label. A bit arty (yes, again), a bit angular, some dance potential and a lot of fun. Minor local success with a couple of singles, though I don't think they gained any kind of national recognition. Were played by John Peel. A pleasure just trying to remember anything about them.
