Bloody 'eck, Mr Whoppit – you must be older than me! IOW must have been amazing!

58. Strange to relate – I found myself feeling kind of "semi-detached" from the whole thing at the time…

"Message to Love" is a film about the event. It just looks kind of sad and tatty, in retrospect. The "music should be free" movement, and so on 😕

Hothouse Flowers / The Fat Lady Sings at Wolverhampton Civic Hall circa 1990.

mr woppit – while i'm way too young for the IOW
the anti nazi league victoria park is a blast from the past for me too
went down on the coach from grassroots books in manchester with a motley collection of ageing hippies and radical punks – good times 😀

Pink Floyd pulse tour
Faith no More – Anywhere i've seen them

Ben Harper at the Jazz Cafe Camden in about 1995ish.

Frank Sidebottom at Glastonbury 1995.

I was walking past the cabaret tent late one night and looked in and I could SWEAR that through the cider bus haze, there was a bloke with a huge papiermache head singing versions of Queen songs.
