Bette Bright with Glen Matlock on bass at the Music Machine in London, as captured by Mick Mercer in 1979.

Bette Bright released a series of new wavey-pop/reggae singles, mostly covers of 60’s girl group songs, between '78-'79 with The Illuminations, a backing band that at the time included Henry Priestman, formerly of the Yachts, Rusty Egan, a former member of the Rich Kids and the DJ at the new romantic temple Blitz, along with Glen Matlock, already an ex-Pistol and a former Rich Kid as well.

"This was around the time that Blondie broke big in the UK, so suddenly lots of singles were being released by women who sounded like Debbie Harry for a quick cash-in, but I don’t think that this was the intent with this one. Also around this time... Bette appeared on the cover of Record Mirror. She also toured around this time and was certainly starting to grab an increasing amount of people’s attention, it now only seemed to be a matter of time before she would finally have some chart success. This was followed in November 1981 by the album “Rhythm Breaks The Ice”, also featuring a few original songs, but it wasn’t a hit. By this point, Bette had started to date Graham “Suggs” McPherson, the frontman of Madness, and in 1981 they got married. They have had two children, and almost 40 years later they are still together..." adamnostalgia.wordpress.com/

Led Zeppelin, The Damned ...and John Bonham causing chaos

While The Damned was making waves at London’s Roxy in January ’77, Page went to see the band play along with Zep singer Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham. The three of them — then at the height of their fame — didn’t go unnoticed at the club.

A drunken Bonham made his presence felt the most. After The Damned finished their first set, Bonham got on stage and demanded the band play more, calling them names while he did so. Zep’s rambunctious drummer didn’t go quietly that night.

“John let out a tirade of abuse at [The Damned]. He was shouting, ‘Where’s the f*cking band gone? They’ve only been playing for 15 minutes. We play for three f*cking hours because we’re real men and not a bunch of wimps. Where’s that Mouse Scabies?'”

— Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols bassist)

After The Damned’s drummer didn’t return, Bonham vowed to play a set himself. However, by that point the punks in the audience had grown impatient with Bonham. As members of the Zeppelin entourage tried to intervene, Bonham continued his tirade.

“All the punks were throwing things at [Bonham], and he was very, very pissed. Unfortunately, he didn’t manage to play very well and made a bit of a mess of things.”

— Dave Vanian (Damned singer) Rolling Stone, 2017

Andrew Czezowski, who founded the club, recalled Bonham smashing cymbals all over the place and generally causing a ruckus before getting removed by roadies. “He had to be dragged out of the club,” Czezowski said. For their parts, Page and Plant were much more behaved.

They chatted with Matlock of the Sex Pistols and checked in with the members of The Damned as well. “We used to call Brian [James] the riff-meister,” Captain Sensible told Rolling Stone. “That’s why Jimmy Page was such a fan of the band at the time. He saw something special in Brian’s guitar style and writing.”
