Cigarette Smoke Stripper Ejection Shocker At The Britannia

The band were going through the motions of playing one of the first songs they ever played together, Cigarette Smoke by the Arctic Monkeys, then found that for a few short moments they had not been the focus of attention as their audience had been 'watching a stripper' All you can see is a bit of toing and froing and negotiation, but the reactions in the background, her friends reaction, and the still composure of the band is alaugh.

Radio Riots frontman Ewan Griffiths later commented that "it had been a pleasure and a privilege"

Radio Riots Take on the Youth Market

Radio Riots Headlined the Belvedere School Talent Show this week, bringing their music to a whole other generation of under 16s; having already converted the over 60's who tutted as they set up in the back room of the Brick, imagining their game of Doms was going to be disturbed by that row of modern music; having converted the 18-30 age group who imagined the 4 school boys would just about manage a dodgy Oasis cover, having convinced parents to roady for them...

So.... its just the 17 year olds, the 30-60's and the over 80's to go.

First Gig Outside. Beautiful sunset over the Rock and Fountain, and beyond to the railway bridge. The Britannia was to become a firm favourite with the fans.
