The Yachts on the Royal Iris, 1979

Also featuring Elvis Costello and Clive Langer

Thanks to Norman Killon for the pic. I don’t know if he also took pics of the Yachts but if he did, I don’t have them. Sorry, Yachts.

The Royal Iris was a sort of a ferry up and down the Mersey that you could hire. It was often used for gigs, and they always felt like special occasions. This gig - the launch of the Yachts debut LP - was one of them.
