The Jam @ Crawley Leisure Centre in probably 1978. Support were Nine Below Zero.

Depeche mode… brother had a ticket but couldn’t go, so I went instead.
I wasn’t a fan, been one ever since.

Metallica! In the point back in 94 or 95 can’t remember

The Cult @ Manchester Apollo – 1985. Awesome

I know they’re touring again, but I don’t want to go, as it would sully the memory of that gig

TV Personalities- Maidstone Art College

Roxy Music – Country Life Tour 1974 Colston Hall Bristol

Fun Lovin’ Criminals

Stiff Little Fingers…Blackburn King Georges Hall….early 80’s

<cough>Paul Young</cough>

The second one was The Smiths to make up for it!

The Stranglers @ Gold Diggers in Chippenham, 1981.

First concert I ever went to was Michael Jackson in 1990. Thankfully I didn’t get invited backstage.

AC/DC ’81 Hanley Victoria Hall.Set the tone for the next 20 yrs of gigging,then just thought,enough of this noisy stuff.

Toyah, some dingy pub basement in Leeds, just the 50 of us. Brilliant.

The Cult @ Manchester Apollo – 1985. Awesome

Was at that as well Binners …we could have met so many times and yet you ended up with Hora

specials. 1981.

oh, and toyah in 1980…almost forgot about that, she was that good… 🙄

The Keef Hartley Band. Kingston Hotel. (Neither are here any longer…)1968.

Budgie Bolton Town Hall about 73ish

blur 1997. first time me and my future wife were in a room together, though it took us another 11 years to meet!

Shakin Stevens when I was about 10, 30 years ago!

Folks were on a night out in town and thought they’d surprise my sister and me by dropping us ‘somewhere special’ and picking us up later. IT WAS NOT MY CHOICE

Anthrax- Hanley Victoria Hall, me duck.

Crowded House, GMex, 1993. I was only 13, it will stay with me forever.

Wishbone Ash, Feb 12th 1972 Newcastle City Hall

Junkyard – we’ve probably met loads of times during the mental Hacienda/Warehouse party days, but things are a tad…. ahem… hazy from back then 😉

The Fall at Bangor Uni, circa 1990 (Extricate had just come out).

Mark E on fine form preaching from the pulpit. Seen them several times since and they were just as good. Don’t listen to them much on record though.

Guns n Roses, Use Your Illusion tour, Milton Keynes 1991.

Bit of a mad trip for an 11 year old from Cumbria, but so worth it.

well, strictly speaking Status Quo, when my mum took me to see Queen at St. James Park when i was 10

The Cult

Sonic Temple Tour at the NEC, 1987. Still have the Programme.

My ears were ringing for 3 days afterwards. Happy days.

Uriah Heep – Hammersmith Odeon – 1973-ish

well, strictly speaking Status Quo, when my mum took me to see Queen

Bit of a contrast.

Can’t remember the name but they were like the West Midlands version of ZZ Top.

The venue was the sort of place were your feet stick to the floor but there was booze, a good atmosphere and naked breasts so it was a pretty good night out tbh

Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction
Wolverhampton Poly

Many, many, many years ago……

White stripes at blackpool

Genesis – Desside Arena – 1982

philconsequence – Member

the crocketts

Friends of friends. I once went surfing with Davey Crockett, nice young man he was too.

My first would have been this christian version of the levellers called Eden Burning. Followed up a couple of weeks later by the opposite of Christian folk rock: Pantera 8) . Still one of the best gigs I ever went to.

Oh BarnsleyMitch, be ye not ashamed: I saw Quo once too. But with my dad because he had 2 tickets and none of his workmates would go. 😆

The Prodigy in Brooklyn Heights Newport, followed by U2/Stereo MCs in Cardiff Arms Park, both in 93.
