I dont think I would want to be gobbed at and would of walked off stage as well.
been there, done that. stayed on stage
c1984, Selby, North Yorkshire. I’m not sure Selby had ever seen a post-punk band at the time (you might describe the look we had as “goth” but I think it was before the term “goth” had made it out of London).
Anyway, imagine 120 young farmers & miners, letting their hair down to what they thought was a “Punk” band…
Paul’s first mistake was playing the opening riff to Pretty Vacant – to wind them up, it wasn’t even in the set. well that was it. not just gobbing, but beer glasses too.
nowhere to go so we stayed put. Paul did have to find an alternative fingering for the A chord…
ah, memories
