Duran Duran, Hammersmith Odeon, 1982. Tickets cost �4.50 and I went with my mum and 3 friends. Wow my mum would have been just 43! Fab question brachiopod.
brachipod. Do you still live in Leicester? I used to run a Goth club there called "Desire" in Georges Cellar Bar by the clocktower early 93. Promoted a few gigs there too.
Madness @ The Apollo, Manchester, December 1980. The support act, Frantic Elevators, was fronted by an odd-looking redhead by the name of Mick Hucknall...
Roxy Music at the Brighton Dome in 1973; I was 16. I remember that my dad gave me a lift down there and stood in amazement at the exotically-clad RM fans. It was an incredible gig, one of Brian Eno's last, for a debut. I think my next one was something a bit more prosaic, The Groundhogs if I remember correctly.
Neil Reid of 'Mother of Mine' fame (from Opportunity Knocks), oh the Shame of it, in what, 1972? I was only 10. Progressed to David Essex in 1975 then The Jam in 1977.
