Jets of Air play that Christmas social. The line-up consists of Pete, Tony Wall on lead guitar, Garth on bass and Keith Jones on drums. The venue is a large common room in the school and the audience consists of sixth-form boys and girls. The set includes ‘John, I’m Only Dancing’, ‘Queen Bitch’, ‘Suffragette City’, ‘Watch That Man’ and ‘Jean Jeanie’ (Bowie covers), ‘Waiting For My Man’ (Velvet Underground), ‘Badge’ (Cream), ‘Street Life’ and ‘Pictures of You’ (Roxy Music) and ‘Telephone Operator’ and ‘Paradise’ (Pete originals). Keith Wilde, who played with McNeish in Kogg, is in the audience. Tickets are priced at 10p and refreshments are available.

Garth recalls the gig: ‘We were quite a colourful band. I wore a white full-length Afghan coat with two-tone flares and a colourful T-shirt. The other members of the band were dressed just as flamboyantly. Pete and I also wore glittery face makeup and nail polish. Our changing room for the night was the science room, on the floor above the common room.’
