Terminals II

Click image for more photos ...
Our friend Dave O'Hallaran (aka What Wave Dave on CHRW) has been sharing on Facebook, with our grateful permission, photos that we had taken of various bands back in the 1980's. Today Dave writes in 1980's Punk Rockers in London, Ontario:
  
"Here's another post from the fantastic lens of Reg Quinton. Reg was right in on the action for these shots!

This time it's from the basement of the Victoria Tavern circa 1984 with the Terminals. There were a lot of great shows that happened in the basement of the Vic and probably even more in the big room upstairs! There were several out of town bands that played there as well and we'll document one in a future post.

This is a timely post as 2 members of the Terminals will be playing this Saturday at Palasad as part of The Wabi Sabi's CD release party.

These photos have been shared before — see more photos of and my recollections (2021) on the Terminals in this blog. I've done a bit of cropping on these.

Dave notes the members: Laurie Wedge (bass), David Clark (vocals and guitar), Mike Timmins (vocals and guitar), Pete Timmins (drums). Gosh they were all so young then.

Many thanks to Dave for his work organizing these old photos and figuring out the location and time for many of these events. I had scanned these photos years ago well after the events and had quite a collection of "unknowns" that Dave has been working on. His efforts are very much appreciated.

There are some very poor quality photos here, out of focus, etc., but there are a few gems. Usually I'd prune an album down to just the few photos I'm especially proud of. Dave is more encyclopedic in his choice of photos to share. But, for an historical record, here they are. We are happy to share.
