YOU ARE LOOKING AT AN ORIGINAL FLYER / FLIER FROM THE STRANGLERS TWIN DATES AT THE LONDON FINSBURY PARK VENUE THE RAINBOW THEATER. 

3RD - 4TH APRIL THE STRANGLERS / PLUS A HUGE LIST OF GUESTS WHICH WAS IN PROTEST OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE SHORT TERM JAIL SENTENCE WHEN HUGH CORNWELL WAS ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF A SMALL QUANTITY OF DRUGS. SO THEY PLAYED THESE GIGS AND BROUGHT ON VARIOUS KNOW STARS FROM THE WORLD OF MUSIC. EACH OF THE BAND MEMBERS ARE ANNOUNCED ON THIS FLIER WITH THE LISTED SET LIST OF WHO WILL BE COMING ON STAGE DURING THAT TRACK. THIS WAS TO SAVE THE BAND HAVING TO STOP AND INTRODUCE EACH NEW BAND GUEST AS THEY ENTERED THE STAGE. SO THE GIG WOULD RUN SMOOTHER.

MEMBERS FROM THE FOLLOWING

 THE IAN DURY & THE BLOCKHEADS, TOYAH, STIFF LITTLE FINGERS, (PINK FAIRIES MOTORHEAD - LARRY WALLIS) WILKO JOHNSON, (ROBERT FRIPP KING CRIMSON) NIK TURNER - EX HAWKWIND,THE SKIDS RICHARD JOBSON, STEEL PULSE, STEVE HILLAGE, THE MEMBERS, THE CURE, ( JOHN ELLIS PETER GABRIEL'S BAND ), HAZEL O' CONNOR & PHIL DANIELS FROM THE QUADROPHENIA FILM.

THE DOUBLE SIDED FLIER WAS GIVING OUT AT THESE 2 GIGS AND IT ALSO MENTIONS THE DETAILS OF HUGH CORNWELL'S  SHORT TERM JAIL TERM IN PENTONVILLE PRISON. THE SENTENCE WAS CARRIED OUT AS AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS. A MISS CARRIAGE OF JUSTICE AND THE STRANGLERS DID THESE 2 SHOWS IN DEFIANCE OF 'THE SHOW MUST GO ON' AND IT DID.

THE FLIER IS A4 IN SIZE AND WAS STORED INSIDE THE TOUR PROGRAMME. IT IS SLIGHTY CURLED UP ON ONE EDGE BUT IT IS UNCREASED AND IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. A RARE ITEM FROM THE STRANGLERS 2 INFAMOUS SHOWS AT THE RAINBOW.
