Saw Budgie supporting Gillan many moons ago.

Saw them 5 times. Couple of headline gigs I think, couple supporting Ozzy and a "festival". All between 1978 & 82

 

[Protein Junkie]

Yeah, but I can't remember what happened yesterday!

I knew one of the Merchandisers at the time.
We had free access to the gig and just walked up to the front of the queue acting cool as fuck.
Also got a free signed programme including that of Ian Gillan.

Easy choice for me and it’s the Dutch band Within Temptation led by the wonderful lead singer Sharon Den Adel.
Found them by accident listening to the track “The Howling” and not looked back.
Also a shout out Ben Moody’ alt Evanescence band We are the Fallen.
