You can hear a live recording of Radium at the Imperial, St James’s Street, Nottingham from around 1981 on YouTube posted by vegasrulesok.

Radium live at the Imperial, St James Street, Nottingham. Radium recorded live at the Imperial Hotel, St James Street, Nottingham sometime during the late 70’s early 80’s. I saw this band on many occasions and managed to capture one of their gigs on a cassette player under my chair“.

I had a go at working out song titles. Must have a better go next time.
