Good decision!39 years ago today I caught the Football Special train from Manchester Piccadilly to Brighton to watch City.
On the way down I noted in the NME gig guide that The Smiths were playing in Coventry that night and the train was stopping at Coventry.
On the way back I jumped off the train and with £5 in my pocket I walked to the Poly. Got a ticket outside face value and enjoyed the gig.
Walked to a relatives home who lived in the area.
They lent me the money to get home the next day.
It was the first of my 5 Smiths gigs.
Top 50 Smiths songs according to Mojo......

This was very much in evidence at the Apollo gig last October. Many of the Gen Xers with their own Gen Zs tagging along (mine included, mainly thanks to her step dad)Interesting piece on young people today and The Smiths
