On 16 October, they played Felbridge Village Hall and the police intervened.
Robert: "I think it was because we were doing benefits for this teacher called Tony Weaver who was sacked for committing an act of gross indecency with a man in a public place. We didn't think someone's sexual preferences should have any bearing on whether or not they were considered to be a good teacher and, inevitably, this incurred the wrath of the local National Front. From then on whenever we played local concerts, there was usually a lot of trouble, so we started gathering together our own Easy Cure Wrecking Crew."
Michael: "Dr Weaver was a language teacher at our secondary school, probably the first outrageous homosexual we ever met, and a marvellous character. When he left the school, he was persecuted continuously and we admired him because he became a kind of anti-establishment figure."

Another concert in support of Tony Weaver took place 18 months later in Crawley on April 29, 1979.
