ZoO fundraiser plus S.A.L.T. Edinburgh February 28th 2020 - 7pm - 1am

Rolling over into February 29th this year at the King Khalid Rooms, 10 Hill Place near Surgeons Hall.

Both bands have been whipping up a storm on the local scene not least at the Leith Depot last year.

Svengali Paul 'Glenny' Glenwright came back from Cyprus for the gig but as usual didn't read the notice.

The date was in the small print!

Doors open 7pm and you can dance through to the early hours of our leap year.

With Life Support band members on display, Deadbeat dug into the archives to find these pictures.

Simon from S.A.L.T. clearly bulking up to hide drummer Ross from ZoO back in 1986 at Baxter Park in Dundee.

ZoO's Ross is a bit clearer in this image with Simon out of the way, but Tucker stays hidden in the bar.

See ticketor.com for details and see you all on the night!

For those of you who like a bit of nostalgic nonsense the Life Support tab provides that.

Deadbeat's 2020 hindsight will be catching up on all the bands of yesterday as they pop up today.


Some of the more famous bands stood the test of time, but what about the rest?

Did they stay in music, did the record deal arrive, did the band hit one of those joyous meltdowns?

Who burnt the candle at both ends or did it just slowly burn out?

What drugs do you take now and what was the best party, after gig experience?

Cars,  Motorbikes or VW Camper?

For those who enjoyed the band days did the performance roll into your roll making skills at the Picnic Basket or any Sandwich bar? Did you chef skills lead you to cook on tour?

In 40 years plenty will have happened, children, or coming out the closet, what was your favourite moment since those 5 minutes of fame and was it Hampden for a gig or a football match?

Many questions to ask and we'll be asking them over the coming months as we put the finishing touches to Deadbeat, Scotland's fanzine.

We plan to interview all of those we interviewed back then and laugh at the years in between. Its a lot of drinking, but I'm up for it, starting on February 28th!
