First heard this band 1984 or thereabouts, live at the local, The Sportsmans Arms, now defunct of course, they were supporting a good band called Ocho Scieroco, can't think why they never took off?? Really thought David Banks and co were destined for great things especially when this song was included on the Lost Boys soundtrack . Sad it never came to be. Still in '84 Mummy Calls were THE band to see in Coventry and 'The Chesnut Tree' was the set highlight, moody, sax led and magnificent and remains a tribute to a great undiscovered GEM of a band from too many moons ago.
