    I was at the Clash Brid Spa gig.

    Slept in the back of a Triumph Herald Vitesse Estate that night in a car park.

    Nice car.


    If only they'd made a version with brakes.

    I was at the Squeeze City Hall gig.

    Support was Wreckless Eric who was much better. (I love Wreckless Eric).


    After the gig I got headbutted outside by some drunken **** who took offence to the way I looked.


    Which caused a row between myself and my then girlfriend. (Who he punched in the face when she objected to him headbutting me).



    And the next day we split up.







    Happy days.

    We put a spreadsheet together on Chris Rand's site a few years ago Ben. They've played more gigs than you'd imagine.

    Sounds like a Squeeze song, no more pulling muscles with Michelle?

    I certainly felt like William Tell.

    Like I had a ****ing target in the middle of my forehead which the lairy **** hit with uncanny accuracy.

    To clarify: the way you looked at him or your apparel?

    What genre or youth cult were you adhering to at the time?

    I was a punk. Red spiky hair, bondage trousers, ripped combat jacket and a Vivienne Westwood fascinator.













    Ok. I'm lying about the fascinator.











    It was a Katherine Hamnett.

    What year are we in here?

    Not sure if it was still Cool for Cats to be in that garb by 1980.

    That was town back then.

    Some may lambast you for not having taken a stand against the endemic random violence of that era, but not I.

    I seem to recall there was a fearful rumpus at the Damned @ the City Hall on 1979.

    Concert abandoned halfway through due to excessive disorder among the punters.

    Ironic really.

    At a certain point in the tumult the bouncers just looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

    I was in a executive box on Saturday to see the Kaiser Chiefs at Elland Rd, who put on a decent show, but I found the Sherlocks to be the surprise act. Ex Leeds player Gary Kelly was next door to us and was great company. Mainly because he liked a drink as much as we did.........
