The band regularly gigged around Norfolk and Norwich, playing a wide range of gigs ranging from the Lamb to Norwich Arts Centre and The Waterfront. There most notable gig was probably supporting Pulp at the Waterfront, a badly attended event, which had it been booked a month or two later would have occurred after Pulp had suddenly risen to fame. Karl Minns, who played Bass for the Splendids in the Early 1990s, is the thinner less hairy half of The Nimmo Twins, he has also played Bass with Catherine Feeny, one time Norwich Songstress. Karl now writes funny stuff for TV and radio.
