First Gig

[Timmmmahhhh]

1999 I think.

Yes, I have just admitted that.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to your recovery, well done.

The year after I went to Backstreet Boys.

And I saw them again about four years ago, which was a birthday present, I turned 27.

Was that the festival of the 10th summer or just after.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Coming from the arse-end of nowhere, I didn't see anyone famous until I went to uni. The first gig was Girls Aloud, with the disclaimer that it was part of our end of year party. They were shit. Shouted their way through 4 songs then fucked off. The first band that I specifically bought a ticket for was Sigur Ros. They were ridiculously good.

You're too far gone.

[Danny Hoekman]

UK Subs at the University. Would have been 1979.

I think I went to that, but it was a matinee performance in the afternoon - and I think it may have been at the Poly, but it's all a bit hazy now - I think some members of Blitz turned up for it too.

I saw them last year in Leeds, still rocking it, more than I am anyway :(

I think you may be right now you mention it. I remember it being during the day now.

Also went to a few at The Mayflower after that....The Exploited and Discharge come to mind. As you say "all a bit hazy now"!
