Nancy's Burning says:
"with the Squares, it's like playing at home. Going out and ten minutes later, see them live in town. The Squares mean for me the P'tit Zing headquarters with Dédé behind the counter. It means the concerts in a place we miss, the rehearsals with the guys of the band "Panik" in the next room. The influence of the Headcoats on their stuff is real, but they shouldn't be reduced to the label "French Headcoats". They have a bigger debt to the whole Medway scene, to which they will dedicate an entire album. The only time we saw Billy in Nancy was at the P'tit Zing with the Squares opening for the Headcoats. And all was said. The Squares, 3 guys : Nick (guitar/vox), Stanley (bass) and Oli (drums) who toured in the whole country (with a crash for every van they had on tour, rock'n'roll attitude !) and abroad. It's also a garage-like discography with not less than five albums and a bunch of singles. They took afterwards different ways, but the beat is still here ... my baaaaby's gone ... yeah yeah she's gone !!!"

Bad Manners are a long-established English 2 Tone Ska band. Fronted by Buster Bloodvessel (born Douglas Trendle), the band was formed in 1976 while the members were together at Woodberry Down Comprehensive School near Manor House, North London, and among their early incarnations were known as Standback or Stoop Solo & The Sheet Starchers.
None of the members had any formal musical training, however they were accomplished musicians. Bad Manners were at their most popular during the late 1970sand early 1980s, during a period when lots of similar ska bands filled the charts such as Madness and The Specials

That Bad Manners looks like a damn fine set - unfortunately all of the links from Massmirror are dead... looks like the deleter has struck again. :-(

Any chance of a re-upload please?

Thanks very much for the prompt reply and fix - you're a gentleman.

Bad manners might not be the world's greatest musicians, but by God they know how to give the crowd a good time. :-)

Highly recommended live if you ever get the chance!
