The webmaster, north Bucks:
"After the Bad Manners debacle earlier in the years (one of the most shocking and unpleasant gigs I had ever seen), this gig was a perfect Xmas tonic and right good fun. This is easily one of my favourite gigs of all time. By this time, The Piranhas had had a huge hit single with Tom Hark – a great summer tune but completely unrepresentative of their work. Sadly a very under-rated band"

Not content with one novelty hit with 'Tom Hark' a new version of the Piranhas charted in 1982 with 'Zambesi' This did not reflect how good a band they were.
Bob Grover is gigging as at 2008 in a new band called Dates
