Cocteau Twins

'did I ever tell you I  saw the Cocteau Twins once when they had  two singers? Its True!!!.  ..but..I checked wikepedia and it doesnt back me up....so maybe its my enfeebled memory playing tricks on me.  Cos if it aint in wikipedia then it didnt happen right?
This photos from the Victoria Palace theatre, I loved this band sooo much....but then they went all "Q magazine". Bands do that , dont they? 
But luckily we can always find another, go crazy on them, bring em into our hearts and homes , until, they decide we are actually a bit embarassing and they need some time apart, they need some space, we are holding them back......sorry ok?




This Track is from the  ULU  13/12/83 (on one of those tacky Orange SONY CHF90's), and really , its here for no better reason than its got me shouting " SHUT UP MARCUS!" on it....

      I'm sure I read somewhere that Gordon Sharp from Cindytalk appeared live with them on a couple of occasions as well as contributing backing vocals to some of the Peel Session tracks, so maybe your memory is not enfeebled after all!
