From 1977 to 1980, there was a band called Cardiac Arrest.

Based in Kingston, Surrey, they went through several changes through these short years, recorded a 7 inch single and a cassette album,
played several concerts on the pub and club circuit, mostly around the Kingston area.

After a while, they changed their name briefly to "The Obvious Identity", then "The Alphabet", before settling on
CARDIACS

but that's another story...

There is apparently some video footage of the show at the Coronation Hall, Surbiton in July 1979, where
Cardiac Arrest were playing with THE DIALS and THE WARDENS.

Does anyone know somebody with a copy, audio or video? No matter how bad the quality is, please contact me if you do.
