Being 62 years young this very day I am glad that younger peeps may share my ageing difficulties lol

Do you mean Annie Haslam of Remaissance Greppers?

I saw Girlschool at Hammersmith Odeon back in 1981/2.

Seeing that video, it reminded me how crap they were, but I don't think it was their musicianship that people went to see ;)

I saw Girlschool a couple of years ago (at King Tut's, and on my birthday). They were great :-). Fairly uncomplicated stuff, but catchy and energetic; and you could see what an absolute blast they were having being back on stage and playing and that was totally infectious.

(The passing years had not been as kind to Raven, who shared the bill. I think any one of them would have weighed what the three of them did together, back in the day

I thought Girlschool were quite fun in a 'college band got a big break' kind of way. The video I posted this morning is no worse than most and better than many.

If you want 'years have not been kind', try The Motels.

Viv Albertine was one of the more recent acts I saw at the Corn Exchange, supporting the Damned.

I was in the pub and felt a sudden urge to listen to Colosseum II. Fortunately I did not have my phone with me or I might have been banned. Please don't judge me too harshly.
