Photos: THE ONLY ONES Feb. (6 or 7) 1979, also BATTERED WIVES?

LOST? Go to the PUNKS & PROVOCATEURS BLOG INDEX . List of 250 BANDS and SUBJECTS on this site BY NAME with DIRECT LINKS.
THE ONLY ONES (UK) are best known for their song, "Another Girl, Another Planet". They formed in 1976 and broke up soon after in 1981. The band was led by singer/ songwriter Peter Perrett, with guitarist John Perry, drummer Mike Kellie (formerly of Spooky Tooth) and bassist Alan Mair.

They were upstairs (backstage) at the Edge following The Only Ones concert in Feb. (6 or 7th), 1979. I'm guessing they're a band, possibly the opening act. One is wearing a BATTERED WIVES T-shirt. The band received so much negative publicity, they were eventually forced to change their name to The WIVES.
