[Gary Tompsett]

Just thought I'd see what replies come back. I have some cracking core fan photos from that gig, somewhere..

Unfortunately not

Wish I had been though

Unfortunately not , spoke to a guy once in the pub before a nma gig who said he was.  Apparently he used to go to a lot of gigs on a cycle I'm sure someone on here must know him . Even tho I live in Scotland it's would still take me about 8/9 hours to get there via train n ferry

Pol, that might be me too. I followed NMA on the Hopeless tour. Hitching around UK then cycling around Europe (France>Spain>France). I didn't cycle to Shetland though! Drove to Aberdeen from Kent in a clapped out Citroen BX, distinctly remember fuel cost only £30. Then flew to Sumburgh airport, and was picked up (along with another fella) by the promoter; Jeff Ampleford? There was a long run-up to the gig with many core fans (still Militia??) hanging out at the Tingwall community village hall, rather than in Lerwick. Other locals at the gig had a fair intake of drink and drugs. This unnerved the band. The trip and gig was very special though. Year? I'd have to look back for the ticket. Maybe meet you in a gig. I'm near Glasgow. I'm tall. Might get to Rock City Notts. We must have met?? I know Speedy and Dr Jo.

Hi Everybody

I was just reading this post bye garyt  and guess what I was at this GIG in Shetland I went over on the boat and it took me about 14 hours plus . Justin was also on the boat with us and brought us a wee drink .

I use to follow the band back in 1990 up to 1994 . You may remember me I use turn up on my  Motor bike and had best time of my life look back on it .

Shetland was a a bit of a mad gig I was help Bret and Matt out on that tour . the PA not that great and the lights about the same but we just got with it and made the most of it     

The 2 gigs went down well with the locals I have also got some phots some were so I will try and dig these out so you can see .

any way it s been a long time since I have been the site so just want to say Hi to Wessex and any one else what happened to stoney ??

I am well Crowman, thank you. Remember well we used to bounce of each other on "follow that" just about every day back in 2013.

Please take Red's advice if poss, the Saturday before Xmas Rock City NMA show is always a treat. Wouldn't be xmas without it. Don't think its sold out yet.
