The enclosed video is of a live performance by Patrik Fitzgerald, for 'Artists For Animals', in 1986 at The Boardwalk, Manchester. Filmed in one-take with no editing, the video starts in silence followed by the soundcheck and through to the performance. Playing an acoustic guitar to an unseen audience, the performance gives the impression is playing his moody, poignant songs on a one to one basis with the viewer. The material included does not represent the whole spectrum of Patrik's work, but it is an excellent introduction.

Recommended further listening are 'Treasures From The Wax Museum' (RFCD7) on Red Flame Records and 'Safety Pins Stuck In My Heart' (CDPUNK 31) on Anagram/Cherry Red Records.
