The "Lincoln" Void existed from 1978-1980, firstly as a five
piece, sounding very much like The Fall with experimental vocalist Martin Martin
and bass player Lynne. Then they slimmed to a three-piece "power-pop" band with
drummer Steve Davis on vocals, his brother Jeff played guitar, I forget the new
bass players name (sorry). Rose Ingleton joined this line-up on synthesizer in
the latter stages of The Void but never played live with them. Rose played in
ESP Disk-rd, information about which can be found on my
muhmur.blogspot.com site. In 1980 The
Void became Survivors and were interviewed by Dave McCullough for a Sounds
feature. I set up this interview myself, and got them a few gigs in Lincoln &
Nottingham. In 1981 they all relocated to London to try and hit the big time.
Last I heard 20 odd years ago was that Jeff & Steve were working in a hotel in
Brighton. They were a bloody good band!!
The Wildlife had a short life as a live venue, situated in the very rough area
of Lincoln known as Birchwood. Pseudo Existors and The Cigarettes played there
a few times.
Hope this has been of some help.
