Bin bag girls
"Can I mention a single from early 80s by group called Toto Coelo?" said Ciaran's Dad on the text tonight. "I think it's I Eat Cannibals. Sleeve had them dressed in bin bags. Mad as a bag of cats. love to hear it."
It did and here's the proof...

Fantastic show tonight, Bryan & Richard ... great to hear so many terrific girl bands.
Special thanks for playing His Latest Flame. Sadly all their stuff seems to be long out-of-print now, but happily I bought a copy of their (as far as I know) only CD 'In The Neighbourhood' in London circa 1990. "Somebody's Gonna Get Hurt" doesn't appear on that album and I'd always wanted to hear that track, so THANKS for giving it a spin tonight! I wonder what ever happened to them?

Their second album was released as recently as 1996, 14 years after the first single - and some of it's not bad at all.
