Wanda and the Dentists live at the Derby Hall Bury 1981
Along with the images of Medusa, Que Bono and The Chameleons, the negative stash from Martin Mackenzie also had photos of Wanda and the Dentists.

Again, I don't have a solid date for this gig, but based on the date on the neg bag, it was likely around February 1981.
This is one band that has almost no lasting footprint online, so it's been difficult to find out much about them. They came from the Morecambe/Lancaster area.
They are featured on the When We Were Young fundraising CD from St John's Hospice, with the track Love's No Way To Treat A Friend. You can also find a couple of their other tracks on Bandcamp: Hungry for Power and Sex and He Mentioned Something In Italian.
The line-up was: Wanda (vocals), Stuart Baldwin (guitar), Ian 'Iggy' Brockbank (bass), Martin Forrest (guitar and vocals) and Howard Clark (drums).
I'd love to be able to track down someone from the band for a quick chat.
