"The Transmitters did support The Police at the Electric Ballroom on that date! So did a Mark Perry pick up band! featuring one Kiff Kiff!
The gig was billed as Brian James allstars but he pulled at the last minute so The Police stepped in at the last minute! hence the possible confusion with the date!!"
