Bands you discovered as support acts

[Pedestrian]

Went to see the national and the Walkman were supporting. Brilliant.

 

[Bluechipblue]

Fad Gadget supporting Toyah

I don't know who/what are supporting her now, but judging by her Sunday videos, the're really doing a great job.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Saw the Levellers support New Model Army at newly opened Manchester Academy in 1990. Few weeks later went to see the Levellers at the Boardwalk and Manic Street Preachers were on the undercard, all 3 bands still going strong.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

A Certain Ratio supporting New Order (sometime in the 80s at GMEX). Factory Christmas Party or something like that.

New Order, ACR and Happy Mondays
(Glances over at ticket in 80's framed ticket collection)
Saturday 17th December 88

Afternoon
City 2 Shrewsbury 2 (Hinchcliffe scored both, inswinging corner and a penalty)

Then walk into town, beers at the Old Shambles and onto GMEX. Missed the Mondays but there in time for ACR.

Happy days
