In 1981 I went to Dublin to document the Son of Stiff tour for Melody Maker – it was brilliant. I was on the coach with the likes of Joe King Carasco, Lena Lovich as well as Tenpole Tudor, who had such great Rockabilly punk attitude. I took this photo of Eddie Tenpole and the band having a fag before the gig. Note the retro Teddy boy leopard lapels and the Tudor Lion on Eddie’s jacket.

Hello Janette.
It’s been 30 years since I looked like that.
Have you got any more shots from the SOS tour published anywhere?
After Tenpole i spent about 5 years living in squats and on the streets and have nothing left from that period.
i’d love to see some more images from that tour.
That’s a brilliant shot of us
Hope you are OK and still plugging away.
Warmest regards,
Bob from Tenpole.
hi – i am thoroughly in love with Eddies leather jacket. So much so that i am going to get it copied. Do you any more photos of it – front and rear?
Bob, thanks for one of the greatest guitar riffs ever!!!
