![]() More gigs followed at Eastwood Youth Club and The Strange Stories benefits at Scamps and The Esplanade, all with different lineups. At The Psychopaths and Spurts gig at Eastwood Youth Centre, Captain told the bands he would supply the lighting, and when the night came he turned up with a box with four bulbs and some metal foil in it - he spent the entire Psychos set strung up from the stage curtains. Captain became The Shocks manager in 1980 and booked a few gigs for them, one of them being the legendary Triad gig in Bishops Stortford, where Captain tried to take the money and run but was stopped by a roadie who pulled a gun and tied him up for the journey home. Captain eventually gave up music and moved to Israel when he died in suspicious circumstances in 1990. Captain's funeral was attended by many Southend musicians with whom he played.
