Another Blue Aeroplanes / (vague) BBC story:

I lived in London around 96/97.  I  remember going to see the Blue
Aeroplanes play a gig.  I went by myself and proceeded to drink 
continuously
through out the gig till the point where I became a bit worse for wear and
had to go for a tactical chunder in the bogs.  I came out and much too my
surprise it looked like Dennis Pennis (the comedian) was on stage and the
aeroplanes were thrashing out a punk standard..  He had taken over lead
vocals from Gerard.
It wasn't till years later when I was working at the beeb in Queen Margaret
Drive, Glasgow and I spotted Paul Kaye aka Dennis pennis (he had become a
serious actor starring in a drama about a man who went to live on an remote
Scottish island with his family - wife played by Cindy Beale of eastenders)
.   I plucked up the courage and started chatting to him.  Really nice 
bloke
and apparently good mates with a then BA guitarist if memory serves me
either Loz / Jez and in the true spirit of the BA collective had been let 
on
for one song, a Sex Pistol cover.

Now i need all your help. Who else was there? Is there an official 
historian
who can tell me   where this gig was(where was i!!)?  when it was? was it a
legenday BA Christmas gig? What sex pistols song was covered? Which
guitarist was paul kaye's mate?
