| DIRYWIO | |
 Formed:
Welshpool,
1977 by ROBERTS and NEWBOLD. Influenced greatly by both
DISERCH
and THE SEX PISTOLS. They were at the centre of some controversy in 1978
when they played an open air gig naked to promote their EP. Style:
Pistols-influenced all-out anarchic (and passionately Welsh) punk, led
by the terrifyingly viscious duo of Corren and Roberts. Songwriters:
Group
penned. Trivia:
Newbold and Corren were later to become CHEGWIN
and PHILBIN in JOHN CRAVEN's ANGELS
OF DEATH. Roberts' split eye-brow was apparently the result of him
falling off his push-bike, and not, as he insisted, an injury from a bottle
fight.
