Small poster from May 1996 promoting a free gig at the University of Sheffield.
I think this was around the time the band were supporting Lloyd Cole – minus his Commotions – hopefully someone can confirm this.

Here’s a newspaper clipping advertising one of the earliest TCS gigs.
This was the first gig where the band played original material, and I’m pretty sure it was Paul’s first gig, maybe he’ll confirm this. Frank on vocals, John and Paul on guitars, Stephen on bass and drummer that night was co-lyricist and founder member Paul Forde.
Setlist that night was as follows: Drunken Chorus / Right Letter Wrong Square / Five and a Half Feet of Deceit / Brown Eyed Girl / Sorry For The Meantime / Lady Is A Tramp
‘Right Letter Wrong Square’ eventually became ‘Ask Davy’ and ‘For The Meantime’ featured on the b-side of the ‘Senses Working Overtime’ 12-inch promo.

Here’s a cutting from an edition of Glasgow’s ‘The List’ magazine advertising an early TCS gig, supporting The Thieves at Cumbernauld Theatre.
Only Tongue Can Tell, Funny, Drunken Chorus and Useless were among the setlist that night, which I think, was from late 1988 or sometime early in 1989.
Fascinating facts: The Thieves recorded an album at Shabby Road Studios. It was never released. Also, The Thieves had a certain Daniel Wylie in their ranks, who went on to find a degree of success with the Cosmic Rough Riders in the late 1990s, early 2000s.
