30/10/1982 - A show at Warehouse, Leeds, with a new vocalist/guitarist Troy Tate
(formerly of the
Teardrop Explodes) after Dee Harris`s departure.
Troy didn`t last in the line-up, however, and in 1983 has been replaced by the
guitarist/vocalist
Alan Darby (ex-Cado Belle), thus entering the last phase of Fashion`s carrier.
