Backstage after the gig: Siouxsie and Paul Cook (Thanks Sarah Wood)
The Banshees went from strength to strength
and effortlessly sold out Friars in 1979 and 1980. The Banshees continued
in one form or another (with Sioux and Severin)for another 20 odd years.
During this time Sioux and Budgie teamed up as The Creatures having hit
records away from the Banshees. By 2008 Siouxsie was
recording and touring as a solo artiste. Some of the punk ethic clearly
hasn't deserted her judging by a very hostile interview for Uncut magazine
in 2007.
Altered Images went onto play two headlining
gigs at Friars in 1981/82
