Our friend Dave O'Halloran (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. Yesterday Dave writes in 1980's Punk Rockers in London, Ontario group:

"Some more Reg Quinton pics, this time it's; 10.000 Screaming Apaches, Bits Of Food and the Terminals at the same show circa 1984.

Thanx to James MacLean for identifying the venue as St Stephens Church, It was at the south east corner of Wortley and Bruce and hosted a few live events."

These photos have been shared before, see my blog entry on the St Valentines Massacre (2021). There's a lengthy discussion there as we tried to figure out the who, what, where and why. I'll not repeat that here, go read it in the earlier blog. Suffice to say there's rather complete details on the bands that performed and how we happened to be there. St Stephens church was torn down sometime after we left London. It's shops and apartments now.

There is one photo here of the Terminals that I had not shared before — it's out of focus. One fan recognized that it would have been Lori Wedge on bass (her back is to the camera). Dave is more of an archivist than me and likes to share all of the photos. That's fine by me!
