Siouxsie and the Banshees +The Cure at Lewisham Odeon, 1979

Siouxsie and the Banshees played at Lewisham Odeon on 13th October 1979, supported by The Cure,


It was the 'Join Hands' tour, and on it The Cure's Robert Smith temporarily stepped in as Banshees guitarist. Philippe Carly has a whole gallery of photos taken that night, including the one below with Siouxsie and Robert.


Anyone lucky enough to be there and remember it?

    I was there with my cousins, Eddie and Dave. What a great night! I remember spotting Robert Smith playing guitar for Siouxie and wondering why. I bought a Cure syringe shaped badge that night
