I saw them a couple of times. Not wholly my cup of meat, but still a pretty good band. I was well into the local music scene....  Will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Liked them a lot.  Snap 14 - Not sure what happened to these  Many more but I can not remember the names, any body remember these bands???  I remember the name, but can't remember much about them, to be honest. But then between the early 80's and early 90's, Sheffield was awash with great bands. I never understood why more didn't break out of Sheffield and at least try to "Go national".

andy37 Â Â 10 #7 Posted March 28, 2003 I'm sure I saw The Sharp Cuts busking in Northampton town centre in the 80's the day before Northampton Town were at home to United. I can also remember seeing loads of bands at the Limit & pubs round town, Artery Vision Person To Person Mirror Crack'd Vendino Pact to name but 5. The Rock on the Rates gigs were always a good way to see bands cheap. I can remember my careers teacher giving us free tickets for New Order at the Poly. Those were the days.

mikey   10 #8 Posted April 10, 2003 Not exactly Sheffield bands, but I did go to see U2 at the Limit, and The Jam's farewell concert at Steeley's (Top Rank), god that was some gig.  Used to see the Human League girls dancing around in the Crazy Daisy also, in fact I saw one of them recently in Sainsbury's at Archer Rd.  Funny old world isnt it, should have said to her Don't you want me baby......intead of those beans!!

chris.bright   10 #9 Posted July 23, 2003 just as well you didn't, I bet she stopped finding it funny after the first five or six hundred times.  I used to go to school with one of Vendino Pact & saw them in London in the early 80's. Not much of a Sheffield connection really...  Still, Bryan, if you read this, get in touch. Colin Tenwick has my e-mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

paulcrofts   10 #12 Posted December 22, 2003 to reply to mikey from Jan 2003. Snap 14 split up around the middle of 84. I played guitar and joined The Touch for the next year, and then sod all afterwards. Tina the keyboard player didn't join another band. Nick the drummer was in The Warhols for a while - don't what he's doing now. James the singer/bassist went on to be in Skin, then Don Valley and the Rotherhides(under the pseudonym Norton Lees) and is currently in Chicken Legs Weaver, who I haven't seen, but by all accounts are very good.
