HW: Support Bands # 2 (Doll By Doll)

[Melvyn Vincent]

Yes......I remember seeing Doll by Doll supporting HW @ the Hammersmith
Odeon in either 79 or 80. They were sheer crap and were being severely
heckled by the audience. Then...during one of the numbers the lead singer
started either smooching or snogging with one of the guitarists. Definetely
NOT a HW crowd pleaser and jeers,hisses and some objects started hurtling
to the band.......................At this point, the drummer lost his
temper and kicked his kit to pieces and then a fight ensued on stage
between the lead singer and another member of the band or roadie         (
I think ? ), before  the other roadies & security moved in to break things
up and clear the stage.
It was a good (albeit unusual) climax to a very bad support act that had
all of the audience cheering on the proceedings.
