I first saw XTC in 1978 at the city hall in Salisbury. I’d just bought the 3D EP , dyed my hair purple and joined a band in Andover. I remember we were outside the Salisbury gig queuing up and these 4 geezers joined the Q just behind us. It was the band. AP was wearing a big fluffy red jumper so they stood out in the 70s grey. We had our one and only chat with them. We went on to see them 6 or 7 times. I’ve been a fan ever since and I’ve carried on writing and playing to this day. Now we are officially ancient Britons, the world has been a better place with the music of XTC. 😊
Absolutely outstanding. You could see they were going to be great. One of the few bands that came out of the punk scene that were all great players. One of the best groups of the last 50 years. Their growth and evolution was on The Beatles level.
