writing began, and the grand moniker of Major Accident was agreed on and as they could hardly play a note between them the songs all turned out three chord thrashes (check out Con's first ditties 'Self Appointed Hero', and 'War-boots', deep and meaningful studies of Dr Marten boots and local heroes, and Dave's first ditties 'Terrorist Gang', and 'Side-lines', deep and meaningful studies of terrorist gangs and ..er sidelines). 

It was now time for gigs and so followed the now legendary Skerne Park Youth Club gig. The set that evening (performed on the floor as there was no stage) included the previously mentioned self penned hits along with classic tracks of the moment like 'White Riot', (3times) ,'Suzy is a Head-banger',, 'Police and Thieves','Career Opportunities', 'Garageland', 'Janie Jones', (thank God for The Clash). The band walked off that night, after several encores, to tumultuous applause and the grand sum of £12 in their collective pockets. 

Several more gigs followed over the next few months at the same venue supported by bands such as 'The Bloodclots', 'The Urban Guerrillas', and the 'Eels of Sex', (featuring Jim -Rod the Mod- Moir, better known as Vic Reeves, on bass), before Craig decided to call it a day and was replaced by Col Stephenson.

This line-up continued for several months (except for a brief period when Paul left due to internal squabbling [in real bands they call this 'political differences]but if the truth be known it was his round) playing local pubs. Col then decided that punk wasn't for him and left to play in a reggae band. He was replaced by big brother (and 'Psycho-about-town') Porky.
