And I saw them at The Peel the night after Rotherham. Fantastic gig

I had the great pleasure of seeing Twelfth Night (apart from Rick) last night in Rotherham. My husband went to 76 of their gigs in the 80s, I went to my first last night, and if anything, they sound better than ever. I’m now waiting to see if my husband’s passport will come through in time to see them in Barcelona next Saturday.

I had the pleasure of seeing the Andy Sears line-up a dozen or so times, mostly at the old (Wardour St.) Marquee Club. Glorious gigs- I seem to remember Sear’s vocals as being fine…also spent one Saturday afternoon watching rugby on telly with Brian Devoil (drummer) at his flat in Reading + dinner & pub after, but that’s a long(ish) tale. Wonder what the’re up to now….

I have to agree with you John; Andy Sears was an excellent vocalist, at least on record (I never got to see him live). Perhaps Andy saw them at a show when Andy Sears was having an off night?

I can’t believe I’m reading the comments of “Andy”, Dec 15 (above). Are you sure you ever listened to Twelfth Night Andy? The truth is that Andy Sears was/is an excellent vocalist, with a range far beyond those of his contemporaries.. from strong low registers (i.e., Blondon Fair) to incredible falsetos (Take A Look, Shame), as well as a sense of harmony and backing vocal configurations second to none. Wake up and smell the coffee Andy, sounds like you have a personal grudge!

I had most of their stuff on vinyl back in the 80’s and recently obtained a remastered copy of Fact & Fiction on cd from e-bay. The memories came flooding back and it is a classic. It also has 7 bonus tracks including their 1982 single ‘East of Eden’ and ‘Eleanor Rigby’. It was a shame to hear about Geoff, whose vocals were fine as far as I was concerned.

I saw them on their Autumn ‘84 tour and have all of their original albums on vinyl (Collector’s Items indeed). Andy Sears couldn’t sing to save his life, unfortunately, but did duet with Geoff Mann on “Love Song”, the final encore at their Manchester gig. Geoff’s lyrics to “Sequesnces” remain his major musical achievement.

“The flags we weave, they decieve. We must believe … we must believe in love!”

I don’t remember ‘Twelfth night’ but so many good bands miss out due to not enough promotion
