Good thread. First ever gig was Buzzcocks supported by Joy Division. Aged 14 was meant to be a great day because saw City v Liverpool stood in Kippax with my 2 best friends in the afternoon. Rocker Robinson hit the bar for us then it all went shit and the usual 4-0 defeat. Then off to the Apollo and had told my Mum I’d be back home by 8 or 9. Had not much idea at the time.
I remember Transmission and She’s lost Control but not much else but was fab pogoing to Buzzcocks - 3 minute gems.
Walked back to Piccadilly which was pretty deserted by what must have been 11 pm or so and this Inspector came up and asked “ have you seen a little boy wandering around here lost?” To which I said “no mate”. Arriving home to a frantic Mum and Dad and bollocking she told me she was so worried she rang the bus station so of course the little boy I was asked about was bloody me! I’ve never been little in my life. I’m 54 and still her little boy at 17 stone!! Mind you she’s hovering on 40 stone so you can see why (just kidding she’s 91 and about 5 stone wet through!!)
Saw SLF later that year I think for the first of many of their gigs I’ve seen. Would have loved to see Dead Kennedy’s - Fresh Fruit was fantastic but check out Kinky Sex Makes the World go round. It’s clever

And look where you are now mate. A little cabin in the woods.I remember back in the 70's, the Stranglers stayed in a little cabin in Bearshank woods in Northants. We'd ride out there on bikes, we met the band, they wouldn't let us hang out as we were just punk kids but they were pretty friendly
