Young Mike Joyce

[Uncleskinny]

Two friends of mine, Gary Cavanagh and Matt Webster, have just written the first volume of the history of bands in and around Bradford - it's called Bradford's Noise Of The Valleys and it's bloody fantastic - item modelled below.

A little known fact is that the young Mike Joyce was amongst the first to play at the then new 1-in-12 club in Bradford, with his band Victim.

Their EP, the Teen Age, was recorded before Mike joined - see here, and note the original drummer's comment! You can also hear the songs on the EP on this page.

Anyway - there's a picture in the book of a young Mike Joyce, which must have been only a year or so before he joined The Smiths...on the left, sir.

Nice hair.

Nice hair.

Thanks Peter.

I've always thought "Victim" would have been a great, great name for a successful band. As it is...
