ON THIS DAY ... in 1989 - EDITH STRATEGY

57 photos from the Bull & Gate on April 18th 1989

So here’s another of those excellent pre-Internet post-punk/indie bands who fell through the cracks and nobody seems to know about. (Again, these have been posted before, but only in the smaller gallery format, so these are much better.) They released one fine eponymous album, and two singles, all in 1990.

Singer Isobel Davies now runs IZZY LANE fashion (founded 2003), using wool from the 700+ sheep she rescued, all animals getting to live out their natural lifespan. Similarly she has run FARMAROUND ORGANIC from 2011 which includes eggs from hens that also live out their full lives roaming free.
