McCarthy is on the independent Pink label. and the only track of theirs I’ve heard has been on the C86 compilation. Mighty tasty it was too.

HURSDAY 16
Glasgow
0 The Pastels/The Vaselines Fury Murrys. Maxwell Street. 2216511. 10.30pm. £3. All my usual Pastels criticisms are held over until some other time. as they are sensibly
donating a large part oftheir performance fee to the Caterpillar Workers fund — well done. The Vaselines are friends ofStephen Pastel. and 1 would therefore be a little surprised if they do not sound ever so slightly like their counterparts.
