Watched the enemy in a club on tib Street (forgotten the name) hottest gig I've been to in my life. Condensation was dripping on my head. 

Going watching my mate's band at St Gregs in Farnworth on Friday. Really looking forward to it.

The Phoenix up on University Square.

Sweat would drip off the ceiling when it was rammed.

Often this would be playing at the same time...

When the smoking ban came in, the stench in clubs was unreal...

Saw the Darts at BIT in 1979 or around there... it all kicked off, absolutely brilliant night it was like a wild west saloon, punks, rockabillies, hippy dead heads and piss heads like me... one of the best nights, I remember a PA stack toppling through the plate glass window.

It all happened after the gig when the lights were going on, it was edgy all night with the different tribes. I remember Pete Mephy from the Howcroft was doing the disco and lost a lot of records ( I didn't nick them, honest guv), I dived into the bar when I saw the Plod roll up with mans best friends... and the bar staff were giving Starkie the bar manager a right good kickin'. 

It was a crackin' night and the band were okay too.

Anyone else there?

We saw Steve Hackett in Munich before all this Covid shit. Pretty good Gig. We have Bill Bailey tickets which has been put back to next year now from March 2020. Typically, I am in the middle of my Shift in Leipzig when he is in Munich. Not many other Groups of interest in the next six months over here, but I expect places to be getting shut down again if the Covid numbers creep up again anyway. 

Drive by truckers Leeds uni June 2022 Bob Mould ( ex Husker Du )Feb 2022 Leeds Brudenell club and I’ve lost track of when Kiwanuka is at the Apollo May next year I think . 

Anyone going to Reading Festival? Daughter is after a “lift” from Bolton. Or anywhere in North West within reason.
