1. Joe Public, Bristol U.K. - Power Pop / Mod / New Wave Rob Marche (guitar/b.vox) John Shennan (L.Vox/bass) & Geoff Allsop (Drums)... Nick Sheppard joined in the band in 1980 Because Mr Shennan sang and played bass - Joe public could function as a three piece and the fact that he was a left-handed player giving them a symmetry on stage. They did a handful of gigs in and around Bristol and Nick Sheppard (who had been in The Spics with John) joined on guitar.
