Oops “and I saw” 🙄

Great memories and the first time my then girlfriend, now wife, saw Edwyn - the first of many and hopefully not the last time at the Albert Hall in Manchester last year

Weirdly we had just started listening to the album as I read this - haven’t played it for a long time but “found it” when adding songs to my daughter’s nano earlier

60 years on, we are celebrating my youngest daughters 21st birthday some 5 miles from Cottesmore - guess what’s about to be played?

I hadn’t been so aware of MD. Saw FM play at Trent Poly and I recall them being blistering although pretty small audience from memory. Might even have been one of the Monday night free gigs they put on around that time

Snub TV was an important gateway to new music - I was an immediate fan of FM and I seem to recall they hadn’t released anything when this was broadcast

That generated great excitement upon receipt and not just because P&P was £1 😁

Oh yes! @hazelene.bsky.social - fabulous new track for a Friday evening

@kathrynjoseph11.bsky.social hi, any idea of set times tonight please? Trying to gauge my departure time as I have an hour’s drive to Nottingham. Thanks and really looking forward to this evening

Distracted by Slow Horses but meant to say I hadn’t realised about the double bill, so didn’t get a ticket!

They played Rock City the week I arrived in Nottingham on that tour - still a few months later, an emerging band called The Sundays supported TM 🤪
October 8, 2025 at 8:20 PM
By TM I mean!

I’m not at home, therefore can’t check old tickets, but pretty certain this is one of 3 gigs I saw whilst at the Poly, all captivating

Sorry, I see my mistake which was in fact not paying full attention to the question posed 🙄😁

Minutemen, ffs
August 30, 2025 at 9:26 PM
The Minuteman and for that matter Firehose - fortunate to see the second at the Fulham Greyhound and Rough Trade West in the same weekend (1988 I believe)

Cassie has a future asking questions on Mastermind

That’s Deerhunter / Bradford. Have vinyl and daughter still 😁
August 10, 2025 at 7:59 PM
Deerhunter, Heaven, May 2010, awesome and had a post gig beer with Bradford when he happily signed a 7” dedicated to my then 8 year old eldest daughter. Sad not to have seen since

Edwyn and the gang for £3 - what a bargain!

Never mind the question, here’s the answer on a Saturday evening:

Bought on cassette in Woolworths around the time of release - must have on offer as was a committed vinyl buyer. Wonderful album and still have the cassette
