I saw Flowers at Sydney Uni in 77 or 78 (flowers taped to their mike stands) & they where playing Bowie, T Rex, Ian Hunter, 801 (Eno, Manzanera) which introduced those artists to me. There was this great lead guitarist playing a gold top les paul with a brilliant command of frets & feedback. The guitarist in question (I’ve dreamed of owning my own gold top ever since) is not listed. Anybody know who I mean?

I remember seeing them many times at the stagedoor taven which was under a tall office block opposite the park near eddy ave in sydney.Before they went all pop and sync they used to play a lot of punk rock covers.Iva was dressed all in black with a black Les Paul Guitar and Keith had a red rickenbacker bass. Iva used to stand in a classic legs apart rock guitarist stance and belt out the songs while Keith was jumping all over the place while playing. All the Girls used to cream themselves over Iva he just looked sooo cool!The band were shit hot and they played all the punk rock songs of the time . The joint was a small low cealinged sweatbox with exposed water pipes and not much decor. Perfect for a punk rock venue! I had some wild nights there!

I saw Flowers at the Paris Theatre (knocked down to make way for the Connaught) when I was 13.
