EAP Episode.58 - Mark Bannister (The Larks) : "They were the best live band since The Faces"

from Eighties Archive Podcast · host David Arscott + John Mabey

*this edition features excerpts of 3rd party musical content*In Episode 58 We welcome Mark Bannister from Kent based Ska and Punk outfit The Larks.They quickly established a reputation as the kind of exciting live band that no one would want to follow on any bill. Frequently tearing the roofs off London venues like the Marquee and The Town & Country Club. It was Rolling Stones press guy who described the Larks as "... the best live band since The Faces"The Larks garnered some interest, released some singles but by Mark's own admission, one of the things you could not accuse them of was being careerists. "We would have followed a plan, if only we had know that we had to"Perhaps the bitterest pill they had to swallow was witnessing The Housemartins signing a deal meant for The Larks, backstage after having just supported them - DA
