    Yeah Chris, I had that Tshirt too! I interviewed the Assasins for a short lived fanzine I done in 82/83, think I spoke to leon he was a nice bloke.

    Actually, there’s a pic of Andy in his Assassins shirt up on the Apostles myspace page.

    I took a couple of Mike & Leon recording that demo Andy played guitar on too. Will try to look them out and get ‘em to you along with a copy.

    Does anybody have a recording of Leon’s band after the Assassins.

    I went to school with the guitarist, by the name of Lawrence, and I think the band’s name was Swine.

    Had a tape years and years ago and it rocked.

    Cheers

    Leon’s playing bass in our band Refuse/All now and yes, he’s a lovely bloke and a damn good bassist too.

    I’m going to put up a biog of Assassins of Hope and his other bands soon on the Refuse/All website, so any pics would be welcome. I’ve got most of the recordings they did as AOH, Assassins and Swine, if you email me at shearefuse@hotmail.co.uk I’ll pass any messages on and see if Leon’s okay to pass on any recordings.

    Check out http://www.refuseall.co.uk or http://www.myspace.com/refusealllondon if you want to hear what he’s up to now. We’re doing a gig with the Restarts and Social Parasites at the Fighting Cocks, 56 Old London Rd, Kingston, KT2 6QA tonight, Friday 15th February 2008 if you’re interested.

    Cheers, Shea Refuse.
