Christmas at the Patti

The album features Man and Help Yourself with guests Deke Leonard, Dave Edmunds and B J Cole, together with appearances by Ducks Deluxe, The Jets, The Flying Aces and Plum Crazy.

[1] The concert started at 6.00 PM and was closed by the police at midnight, so Man's set was truncated and, despite being the hosts, they have only 11'30" on the album, compared to Help Yourself's 25'43".

[3] It was subsequently released on CD, and, unusually, re-released on 10" vinyl in Italy in 2001 Martin and George Ace, a husband and wife duo, backed by members of Help Yourself.

Because of the fluidity of groups in South Wales, this line up could equally have been called Love Sculpture with Plum Hollis.

When Man fired Leonard, earlier that year, he moved into Help Yourself's house, and they played on his first solo album Iceberg.

Clive John had rejoined, bringing with him Phil Ryan and Will Youatt, who had been playing together as Iorwerth Pritchard and the Neutrons.
