I played the mermaid in the 80′s with a band called ‘back to basics’. Have been looking for info on Afrikan Star, 80′rerggae band
Hi Steve. I remember you playing – bass I think. Brendan and H were my mates and invited me to practice with them a couple of times. I did the practise but didn’t join the band as I was working in the Traf pub at the time (1980) and couldn’t afford the time. Worst decision of my life ( well, one of many)! Then you joined and you were a great originals playing band, if short-lived. I didn’t join my first band until I was 50 years old in 2007. If anybody out there is thinking of playing music live…. DO IT NOW.
