Ed Thomas provides some further information regarding this gig:

"The support band for the 5 April 1980 gig at the Rock Garden in Middlesbrough was local band The Filth. One of the members - Kevin "Endo" Henderson - used to follow the Subs around the country with me and a few others."

Cheers Ed...
