Eurhythmics
BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE (in caps because they were the reason I went, really)
UB40

Turin, 1986, at the football stadium, aged 15 (my parents never took me to gigs, hence my possibly somewhat 'late' start)

Quite a cool one: Feargal Sharkey in around '86 at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham. Brilliant gig, especially as he played a couple of Undertones classics.  8)

Neds Atomic Dustbin, Trent Polly, 1988. They were actually the support act for Jesus Jones, but most of the crowd were there for the Nedz

Is is a crime to believe in something different?

I meant what I said at the time that I said it

My mum took me to see It Ain't 'Alf Hot Mum live when I was about 8 or 9 but I don't think that's a proper gig?

I'm not sure who it was. I saw The Macc Lads, Napalm Death, Skitzo (Psychobilly band) and NMA all around the age of 16 so it would be one of those.

999 at the Music Machine in Camden in 1978, then saw Killing Joke at the end of a CND march in Trafalger Square in 1980, somewhere in between tried to get into Adam and the Ants but was sold out, in those days you just turned up and queued with your pound. Seems a very long time ago now.

Think it was in -80 or -81 when I was 7-8 eight years old. We were at the countryside meeting our older generic. There was a long gone tradition to have a "barn dance" at local fields and everyone used to go there, meet people and listen to live music. Well, there was some rockabilly band playing and this kid went totally mad. Haha.

Later on Iron Maiden and Helloween were probably the first big show in the midst of eighties.

Oh, this is gonna age me, but my first gig was Ten Yeras After back in 1971 or so. I had seen them in the Woodstock film and they suddenly became huge in the states.
