I was standing that close to the band at the State Ballroom in 1986 that I felt the flecks of spit as Matthew sang. He also got called out for his guitar playing answering the heckler back with a stunning guitar solo. RIP.
Yeah, can't help thinking if matt was alive today, bww would be still going strong! She did say in past interviews he was the leader of the band, definitely personality clashes split them
Mathew Ashman did sadly pass away.. Complications through diabetes.. I saw this band many,many times all up and down the country.. Fantastic. Poor Mathew :(
whoa you remember this on The Tube too?..dude you must be old like me :D Fuck I miss The Tube so much, no actually I just miss the 80's, can we build a time machine and revisit our youth?
They were a regular back up band. Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols should say it all & make you think this is gonna be be good..In reality their style of music had already gone & they were living on reputations.
Lance contact me I have everything the Chiefs ever did, from the very first demo's IN oCTOBER 1983 with Dave barbe and lEE Gorman thru to the last in 1988, I have everything, tour posters, fliers, old photos of us on tour in the US and around the UK, CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED ANYTHING..
Whether the truth, what guys from Bow wow wow expelled Annabella because considered that she is the bad singer and without it they will achieve bigger success?
i wanna know who actually KNEW matthew.. he was my uncle and i only know stories of him cutting my mom's hair when she was 7 and locking her in the cabinet. i want to be educated
I think matt was super cool, would love to have seen him perform live. Apparently he was from mill hill, north London, my ex husband was from Edgware, his brother is the same age, but didn't remember him from high school. He was a great underated musician, I hope you discover more about your uncle Joe, good luck 🤞
I played in a band with Maff called RAMS, which was in Switzerland around 93', and we became friends. He was such a funny bloke, and I often laughed tears because of him. I still miss him.
Remember this on the tube and I did indeed see these support Big Audio Dynamite at Leicester Square 36 years ago today on 23-4-86

Hey. Ten years later but... I didn't personally but I've been jamming with Duncan who plays keys here and shared a flat with him.

He was quite into heroin.
