When the Dirty Dog...Dirty Dog: "Let Go Of My Hand"<br /><br />When the Dirty Dog single was released I was known as Taff. I was the guitarist in Dirty Dog.<br />I was amazed to see the old tunes on line as, after an initial pressing of a few thousand the record co.,Lightning, lost the master tapes (Dicks, all of them).<br />We reached no. 2 in the, then, new Indie charts ( kept off the top by Wayne County's "Fuck Off" which was a 12 bar blues and not a punk song at all which really pissed us off).<br />We were real punks from Kensal Green / Rise; two of the band ended up in jail and one died (possibly by hie own hand after a lengthy stay in a mental hospital). I may actually be the only survivor.<br />The songs were written by Henry Hartman (whose later band, The Black Arabs were on the soundtrack to the Great Rock nRoll Swindle) except for "Shouldn't do it." which was written by me.<br />TheNick Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04484867283072839675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020615143442794781.post-79272658363154906532008-10-26T18:39:00.000+00:002008-10-26T18:39:00.000+00:00Thanks for the extra info anon.Thanks for the extra info anon.Punkzer0https://www.blogger.com/profile/03863961322955578815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020615143442794781.post-67335582582763861232008-10-17T04:46:00.000+01:002008-10-17T04:46:00.000+01:00Ian North founded Milk'N'Cookies in early 1970's, ...Ian North founded Milk'N'Cookies in early 1970's, but the band disbanded in England, and North stayed there, where formed Neo, along future Ultravox guitarist Robin Simon.
