RIP Hughie, a proper legend and a damn nice bloke as well. I only saw him a few years ago when he was playing a veterans’ game and he was in fine form then. This is one of my favourite pics of mine of

Just heard this from a mate. Sad news. I saw the Upstarts fairly recently and he was 100% the same as when I saw them in the early 80's.

As we’ve discussed in the past, I did roadie/security work for them back in the day. Stage crew were treat as members of the band, all in it together, I remember a great night at the Royal Standard in Manningham Lane, the place went crazy 😜

I was too young to go to gigs around that time, when them, Cockney Rejects etc played there, so I am well envious of you. 

Just been listing the times I saw them and records I used to have. Must admit I underated them myself. I had 'Upstart' on green vinyl and Teenage Warning on red vinyl. Wish I'd kept them....

Bought I'm an Upstart when it came out and pleased to say I still have it.

Really sorry to hear that Mensi has passed away.

Thing about Mensi was that many people, even within the punk scene, disagreed with him and he created a few enemies. But he never wavered for a second - even when it kicked off at gigs. I still don't agree with him on many, if not most  things, but he was as genuine as they come.
