This is how Susan and I remember the Pirates - we were lucky enough to see them a few times, around this time and believe us - they rocked! We were used to seeing all the good punk bands from both sides of the Atlantic but this band took the place apart...something about the perfection of Mick Green's guitar took me - one who was used to Wilko and various acolytes - onto a new level seeing the originator. He had a brilliant career - I remember seeing him on telly playing behind Paul McCartney at the Cavern and I know he played with Van (baby what baby?) Morrison but this was our favourite moment... them rocking the younguns in a piratey way.
