All photos taken by Dod Morrison. Thanks for sharing them.
You can see more of his stuff on his website or on my facebook page.
Just arrived, thinking what it will look like when it's full.
The luscious Mr Wilson.
It's behind you! No wonder he needed shorts.
Pushing it to the limit.
All join in - Heard Too Much About.
Berketex Bride. I think she means it.
Me and my old mate doing it one last time.
Eve Libertine performs Darling, the darling.
A unique version of that song.
Shine on them. Sea Palling Independent Lifeboat crew get some well deserved applause.

Just looking through the pics puts the memories of that night bang, straight back to the front of my mind, as a reminder of what an amazing night it was. Cheers steve and all who were involved.

I had to pinch myself then, and I still do now. What an amazing experience it was. I started off the complete outsider, and finished up feeling as if I belonged to not only the event, but to the greater feeling of GOOD – a clumsy way to say it but I can’t think of anything better as I write this.
You were there? What a privilege, wasn’t it?!

Hi Steve. It took me some time to write this letter. I want to tell you what I wanted to say in the last 14 years( the time I am listening to Crass). My name is Olga and originally I come from Russia-the country where everything is really fucked up. I was 13 when I first heard Crass and since that my life had changed. Punk rock became the way of my life, thanks to your songs. I became an open-minded personality who could stand and fight for my rights. But at the time I was 13 (I was born in 1984) punk was persecuted in Russia and it was impossible to find any Crass songs there. But I was lucky to know one journalist who could get some cassettes of your music from somewhere. They were so precious for me! As I knew that you stopped performing in 1984, I thought I would never have a chance to see you live again. Six years ago I moved to London and during my life here I could manage to find things with and about Crass which I couldn’t get in Russia. Two months ago I knew that you’re going to perform in London one more time. I couldn’t believe I would see you and hear all my favourite songs! I am nearly 27 now and to see you performing live after 14 years I had heard you for the first time meant so much to me! On my way to Shepherds Bush I was shivering! When you came on stage, I couldn’t even breathe. Your gig was the best show I’d seen, Steve. I was crying during and after concert on my way home. 14 years I have been waiting to see you! Thanks so much for giving the chance to see you live for those people like me (who were born in the 80s). Your music is so special to me. There are no words to express what I was feeling when you were performing that evening. Thanks for everything you had done, for putting all yourself in this gig and for making so many people happy ( especially me). Hopefully one day you come to London and I’ll meet you to say thank you. I wrote one poem for you and here it is:
I know you’ll not sing again
But your music for me is eternal.
Thank you for 34 years
I left Shepherds Bush in tears.
I saw you- I couldn’t believe
Steve Ignorant- simply Steve.
You gave me a chance at this age
To see you performing on stage.
To feel inspiration of Crass
The band which is truly the best.
14 years I waited-so long.
14 years I learned every song.
14 years-and this moment came
I saw your evening of fame.
Your songs overtook my soul
Your voice made me out of control.
Your every move was with passion
I can’t express my impression.
Thank you for the best ever show.
Thank you for bringing that joy.
Thank you for what you had done.
Thank you for having great fun.
Thanks for the best gig ever
My memories will stay forever.
I know you’ll not sing live
But Crass is the way of my life.
