My introduction to the BA's was a spot they did on Saturday Night Live. 
This
was when Ben Elton compered as the angry young man in pinstripes' and Harry
Enfield was still doing 'Stavros'. Bands normally did two or three songs
throughout the show, and I don't know what they played that night, only 
that
it fantastic and I decided to keep my eyes open for a live show and was
rewarded not two months later with a gig at the Town & Country. That was
Sept. '91, so the CH4 outing must have been during that summer.
