Dub Sex - Live at The Hacienda, Manchester - 2nd April 1990

“This 1990 Hacienda show saw a very different Dub Sex - we played new songs like ’I Want’, ’The Rescuers’, ’Untouchable’, ’Slipstream’, ’North by North East’ and ’Until Now’ that would have made up the core of the next album. The plan was for Martin Hannett to produce it at The Slaughterhouse (Driffield) and Strawberry (Stockport) - we actually recorded ’Time of Life’, ’Kumina’ and ’Over and Over’ with Martin but then decided against using him. The tracks lay unheard until Tim Burgess released ’Time of Life’/’Over and Over’ as a 7“ single on his O Genesis label in 2014. This partial footage, filmed by the late Malcolm Whitehead and his IKON team features Cathy Brooks on bass, Roger Cadman on drums and Chris Mannion (Cookson at the time of filming) on guitar. I was back doing guitar and vocals by this point. Chris went on to play guitar for Jah Wobble and to collaborate with such worthies as Bill Laswell and The Chinese Dub Orchestra. He also later joined Cathy and me in Ninebar playing to thousands on the first Finley Quaye tour. This gig was part of a cache of videotapes left to us after Malcolm’s sad death in 2019, and has been lovingly restored alongside a recently uncovered mixing desk recording of the gig. Enjoy.
