Northgate Community Centre, Crawley 29th April 1979.
Poster design possibly by the campaign's beneficiary - Anthony Weaver. "Dr" Weaver, had been The Cure's languages teacher. The "Support" was to raise funds following his expulsion from Crawley College for allegedly committing "a gross act of public indecency". Amulet had supported the Cure back in 1976.
Robert recalls "The NF [National Front] turned up........The whole night was a disaster really, pure violence from beginning to end.......It was a shambles, but it made the papers"

from Stephen C.

I attended this concert, living locally. It was a long time ago but, from memory, the Cure played a song, presumably unique to the occasion, that had the final chorus of 'Weaver Stays OK'.
