Chippenham Goldiggers - 17/11/1985(Ist NMA gig)
Brixton Academy 21/04/1989
Frome Cheese & Grain 20/11/13
Bristol Studio 20/02/1989
Newport Centre 21/10/1990

I saw the band at Goldiggers a number of times, a really great venue, saw loads of other bands there, now sadly gone and a block of flats I believe....

I have a bad memory of Chippenham Goldiggers

Sept 89 the 7 date White coats minitour and I was hitching from Manchester where the band had played the night before and I got stopped by police for being on the slip road on the M5 near the Evesham junction, I was only just past the start of motorway sign.

The coppers were not very happy and charged me and gave me a date to attend court in Worcester, I pleaded guilty by letter and the gave me a fine including costs of £80 which was a lot of money then.

I did eventually get to the gig and needless to say I've never hitched on a motorway since

Ouch!

I was at that gig also

Haven't posted for a while so here We go... Only been to 4 gigs!!

1 -  The Forum London 15/12/94 - My first show, remember Justin complaining about the country being run by 'the same ignorant bastards'!

2 -  The Fleece Bristol 22/04/14 - Andy Woodard did a sterling job for his first show standing in for Michael.

3 - Wolvestock Wolverhampton 10/08/96 - Justin solo show with Ozrics and Dr. Didge. I was rather the worse for cider and kept shouting 'The Man' and dancing madly even to the slow songs! Found some photos here -  http://www.pennyblackmusic.co.uk/magsitepages/Article.aspx?id=4749

4 - Leeds O2 Academy 14/11/14 - First gig for 18 years! Good night even though Justin had a cold.

Sorry the Leeds gig was in 2013

Falmouth- 2013 Because there hardly was a mosh pit and it was calm enough for me to enter.
Coesfield 2014
Augsburg 2014 There was a bonfire after
Gothenburg 2014 due to the fact that there really was no moshpit and people who don't like it could actually enjoy it in the front.
Paris 2012 because it was my very first.

Usually the gigs where I can stand in the front,see the gig and not be slammed into by people in a moshpit are the best. I do not understand the appeal. Someone could get seriously hurt. This is more of a hippy band not metal so i don't get it.
