Live Shows
The Onset toured constantly, playing many of the UK's Universities and Colleges as well as Clubs, Pubs and Art Centres. They played the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1989, were regular visitors in Europe and made it to Glastonbury Festival in 1992.
Four films of the Onset playing live exist - Rainhill Youth Club St.Helens in 1988, the Earthbeat Festival at Liverpool's Sefton Park in 1989, London's New Pegasus in 1990 and The Celebration Festival at the Albert Dock Liverpool in 1991. Some footage from these shows can be viewed on YouTube.
Reminiscences of the Onset can be read online in Tim Peacock's Interview with Mike Badger for Whisperin and Hollerin Magazine in January 2008. Follow the link.

—Emily Carr (1871–1945)
“That which shows God in me, fortifies me. That which shows God out of me, makes me a wart and a wen.”
