Puritan Guitars has been played on NTS shows including La Vida es un Mus , with £100 In 15 Minutes first played on 20 February 2025.

Scritti Politti were the first band to print their manufacturing costs and supplier information on their record-sleeve…and this helpful gesture immediately touched off a widespread competition to show who could make their record out the cheapest. Indeed, an entire generation of bands were more likely to list their production costs than the band-members' names. So when later (and, naturally, anonymous) Cardiffians Puritan Guitars came out with "£100 in 15 Minutes" b/w "Making It" it was widely misunderstood that they were singing/ boasting about their manufacturing costs. (Instead they were complaining about boorish behavior at an open bar to celebrate the final gig of the Raincoats tour –which "the assembled radical DIY types drank up in 15 minutes.") Singer/guitarist John Williams started out writing a fanzine called After Hours, and after the Puritans broke up he joined The [ex] Janet & Johns to do two mid-80s singles as Thomas the Voice. He's now an increasingly celebrated author, and two of his novels deal with the DIY scenes in London (Faithless), and Cardiff (Cardiff Dead). He's married to Charlotte Greig whose CDs have featured Phil Moxham (YMG) and Julian Hayman (Discount Chiefs).
