Wembley

Article from Making Music, September 1987



Lowestoft group The Prince's Truss had the shock of their lives one June afternoon. For the group found themselves booked into Wembley Arena, west London. The group had formed the previous Thursday. They are seen above being cheered by their enthusiastic crowd at Wembley, described by an openly weeping ticket tout as "four cleaners, three security men, and that bloke Dave who always seems to be wandering around. It's usually 9299 plus Dave." Prince's Truss singer Charlie Mental was astonished when he walked on stage at Wembley. "Is it a pub, or what?" he quipped. When we told Charlie that mystery promoter 'Mr X' was giving all the proceeds to charity he looked violent, but cheered up when we told him they amounted to 37p and a disc with 'Sheba' stamped on it. Charlie said the group were now planning some recording on "a small island in the Solent called Montserrat", and is currently on tranquilisers.
