There sure is. I am not as old as some, but I got a chance to see the likes of The Jam & the Smiths, so being a forty something is not all bad.

Wassa wrong with oldies...Best put down in a bar in the 60s...a young mod in a bar was talking to an "oldie" and asked him how old he was. The oldie replied "82" The mod said "God I would'nt want to reach that age ". Quick as a flash the old man said"You bloody well will when you're 81!"

Great idea for a new thread,..bands we've seen in Moulescomb. I saw The Cult there on the day of the Everton v Watford FA Cup final and on another occasion The Dead Kennedys !

I saw the Edgar Broughton Band in 1969 (1970?) at Hyde Park supporting Pink Floyd and many of the other artists on the Harvest Label. He had the biggest hair in the world!

I saw them at Worthing Assembly Halls about 1973, it was a bit strange to see this hairy fat geezer nestling a guitar skipping round the stage yelling "Up Yours" and the necessary 'Out Demons Out' for 20 minutes solid.
They did issue one of the best 45s of the period in the shape of .....

The Pogues at the Brighton Centre. The year they brought out The Birmingham Six/Guilford Four and it was around the time the country woke up to what the police had been up to and they were released from jail. It was not long after the Brighton bomb either really. Thousands are Sailing album was the tour they were promoting and on it was The Fairytale of New York. Electric, first gig I went too and so far still the best.

IIRC Refugee supported by String Driven Thing, Manchester Free Trade hall and I really can't remember when, probably sometime around about 1974 or so.

Whenever someone tells me I am old I just tell them I saw Led Zepp live and also saw the Clash on the White Riot tour and Bjork when she was still making her awful wailing in a band called KUKL (they were not very good tbh). Tends to make the ignorant youths stfu.
