[Bombadier Botty]

24th January 1988 - Depeche Mode, Brighton Centre.

If that was the Music For The Masses tour I remember being amazed at how much space there was in the standing area, i.e. lack of tickets sold.

Run DMC & Beastie Boys at the centre -1987

Derek B was first act on I believe....although that might have been for Run DMC and Public Enemy at The Centre the following year when an embarrassing number farked off after PE leaving a scant audience for the headliners Run DMC.

And Jungle Brothers too if it's the gig I'm thinking of.

[Psychobilly freakout]

It isn't cool but I had fun and I was about 11 years old. Showaddywaddy at the Brighton Centre in 1981. The first gig by myself was King Kurt in Portsmouth.

King Kurt in enemy territory, that must have been an eye opener, I hope you took plenty of eggs and flour, I went a few times in my butchers hat, coat and wheelies fresh from the abattoir !!

Did they have the wheel of death and women bouncers on the door ?

 

[Razzoo]

Teenage Fanclub at the Duchess of York in Leeds, a great gig but I had to miss the last few songs to catch my bus. And I had to go on my own, my mates all dropped out. Marvellous and the first of many gigs at the Duchess.
