Drove down with a carload of interested parties, including rabid Stuffies fan Veronica, in pissing rain, Missed the first band on, Guillotine, as we stayed in the Horse And Jockey drinking instead! I wish we'd stayed there for the second band as well, as they were a mess of local Goth grebo thrash without a discernible tune to hang your hat on.
I bopped in the heaving melee with an enthusiastic Veronica to The Wonder Stuff; they sported an additional violinist "live" and impressed me more than I expected, with a fine and flippant set of swirling slightly-delic pop. "Radio Ass Kiss" a funny and memorable highlight in their set; a good night out!
I was at this gig, I arranged a coach trip from New College and about 20 of us went up there.
ReplyDeleteThe first band on at this gig wasnt Guillotine. It was The Libertines, which were led by Russ Hunt. Miles' brother
ReplyDeleteThanks Anonymous! I wish I'd have seen them now, Russ Hunt is a smashing chap so that would have been fun to see...
