James Maker & The Smiths
- Thread starter mozzette
- Start date
According to http://passionsjustlikemine.com James Maker was on stage with The Smiths only twice (4th Oct 1982 and 25th Jan 1983).
There aren't many photos of them I suppose.

He appeared three times on stage with the band, the first two gigs and then at St Austell, Cornwall (17/10/86) for a couple of songs.
The picture could not be at The Ritz where it was claimed he wore the stilletoes as Andy Rourke is in the picture and he wasn't in the band at the time of the Ritz gig. Looking at Andy's hair, I'd guess it was the St Austell gig this was taken at. Is that Craig Gannon's arm on the right hand side?

I know nowt about Maker, but from the pictures I've seen he was definitely an influence on Moz' fashion/hair. The diaphanous shirt predates Morrissey's "blouses" during the the Kill Uncle/Arsenal era, and I think Morrissey borrowed Maker's lumberjack-patterned shirt for Last of the Famous on TOTP

I personally don't find plaid shirts and stilettos an odd combination, becouse many lumber-jacks are known transvestites.

I think James Maker is (or at least he was) gorgeous...
