Send No Flowers (1981-1983)



A post-punk four-piece with a Goth touch, Send no Flowers formed in 1981 and featured feat; Lyn Sangster (a.k.a Lin Sangster, vocals, guitars, later Kit, see picture), Timmo O’Shea (guitar, keyboards, later of High Five), Paul Sangster (on bass), Jake Wakstein (drums, later of Kit). For live set Alan Wills (also Wild Swans) would join on percussion. At a certain point also Ian Astbury (later Cult) rehearsed with the band. When fired because of his singing (that was the very start of his artistic career), he fomed Southern Death Cult. They recorded a couple of songs for two compilation cassettes (Wall of Convention on Adventures in Reality in 1981, and Days of Rage for Index #2 in 1982). In August 1983 the band issued their first (and only) single, co-produced by Robert Blamire (bass player with Pauline Murray and the Invisible Girls):
