Martin Johnson Vocals Guitars Keyboards. Keith young Bass Ed Morgan Keyboards
Anniversary Circle who originally hail from a then small mining community in South Yorkshire were producing original material before their time. Playing their wears to anyone who would listen in living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms but mainly in Keiths Mam and Dads front room to a few kids who had trespassed on to the front lawn and to those who would bang on the wall in appreciation. Keith an ooh 20 I am and Martin a teenage tear away together penned their own tunes and went by the name of Edo La Tree Le Plastic Elephants did so under the toxic rain of Margaret Thatcher. During the 1980s post punk era they were defiantly the winters children and aroused the clich.. its grim up north whilst they thought of them selves as erie, disquieting and strange being influenced by Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Gang of Four, Bauhaus and John Lennon. Whilst managing to make a difference in their small shunted mining town (As no one else seemed to be bothering.) it did not last as they defected in to the Skeleton Crew and the Malak Brood. As le Plastic Elephants became a forgotten invention girlfriends came and went as did the bands and line-ups. Martin and Keith reunited in 1989with the help of Adrian Fursarski (Now of the 99th Floor Elevators.) to Form the Fruit Eating Bears and wrote new material keeping the old stuff in a very dark place under lock and key only for Keith to leave in 1990. After many years and many choruses of who ate all the pies Martin who chases the aces in Surrey and Keith who keeps the spit turning in Yorkshire are reunited once again as Anniversary Circle.
