In the early 1980s, English band The Insane Picnic (styled as the insane picnic) were one of the pioneering D.I.Y. cassette bands, composed of members Peter Ashby, Barry Douglas Lamb and Owen Turley.[1] They recorded several releases for the English independent record label Falling A Records.[2] As well as regularly appearing in many fanzines, they were also often featured in the mainstream music papers with favourable reviews in Melody Maker, Sounds and NME, also featuring on several occasions in the Sounds Obscurist chart and Psychedelic chart and were favourites of pirate radio stations Liverpool City Radio and Andromeda.
