Well good Notice. Simon Nugent of DRUMWORLDUK.COM has contacted us with some interesting news, Geoff Russell the original bass player is Living still in west wales, and some 'Live recordings' are on the way.

Fuckin amazing! I was the drummer for their support band the j arthurs in which our singer [denis] was also the drummer for the slugs. He used to do a couple of songs at the end of each gig with jaws on the drums, but in the end we formed the j arthurs to free the slugs up to do their own stuff. I also did the light show an roady shit for them on the cornwall tour back in 84 I think it was. I just phoned geoff the bass player cos I see him regular an he didn’t know the site was up either. I spoke to dino a few years ago whos now livin in I have various recordins of the band on cd an it’s the best stuff they ever did an its all live. I have a photo of the j arthurs with denis singing at the helicon which was a building at the top of llandysul that used to do gigs in the good old days before fire regs took over! Hey anything else you wanna know just ask Many thanks, Simon Nugent, DRUMWORLDUK.COM

Hello Martin
I just came across your page about Field Marshal Slug. I used to publish and edit a magazine based, at that time in Carmarthen, called Metro. I remember doing an article on the band. They also took Steve Greaves, who used to help on the magazine, with them, when they supported the Dammed. He interviewed the Dammed at the gig.
I'll try to find the article on the band for you and get a copy to you, if you want it?
Best wishes
John Ashwell
Martin
I think I said, in last email, that I published metro magazine I was getting ahead of myself there, I did publish metro but that came along some years later, in Lincolnshire. I founded and edited Impact, of which you feature in your site and where the Slugs were on one of the front covers.
John Nice to hear from you, Impact was quite a hip mag for that time i remember, did you go on to bigger things ? would be very much apreciated if you send the article on The Slugs, it would be used on the site, also it would be interesting to see the Damned interveiw, Thank you ever so much for your help, will you send it by email ? or i can send you an address, once again thank you for your help Cheers [m.p]
07-04-08
I looked through the old copies of Impact, after visiting your site, it brought back lots of memories. We did carry some very good articles, in the 7 years of its existence though. The ones we produced in Cardiff looked very professional. Whereas the first couple, from Carmarthen, were awful. I had a few laughs as I looked through them again this morning. But, they did have a lot of energy.
I found the Dammed interview and also one with Picture Frame Seduction. Also, came across a small ad from the Slugs, who were seeking a bassets at the time! Afraid. I can't send the whole copies, as I only have one copy of each edition left, but will gladly send you photo copies of anything, if you forward an address. By the way, we were also the first magazine to carry an interview with The Manic Street Preachers; I sent a reporter up to Blackwood, to do an article on the town, and he came across the Maniacs, busking in the street! The band always remembered us for giving them, their first publicity.
By the way, you may be interested in Steve Greaves website, he's the guy who did a lot of the design work, and the early photos. He's a painter, but if you click onto hs site, then, I think, click onto 'collaborations,' on the left, you will come to some stuff and images from Impact days, including his reminisces of the Dammed interview and going with the Slugs to the gig!
Best wishes

Hi
Jonnie Lovell drummer from Chalky White here.
Just thought I'd say hi. Er........Hi!
Great site. Just reading through the old venues (some I'd completely forgotten about) brought back all these memories, some vague some clearer but most running into each other. People now say, 'Saw you at so and so venue in Croyden' or somewhere and I can't remember even being there! Hazy days or wot!
The Alamo (been leveled now I think), The Quarry, Queen Hall (always a great gig) etc., etc. and many festivals. Also, Impact, Touch & Go.
Some of the band are still in Wales, some even still playing! Bob the singer is in Spain, see him there occasionally. See Nik T now and again.
Thanks for the association, then & now.
Cheers
