What an adventure! 3 of TP! (not yet formed) 260 miles to sold out gig, in back door during soundcheck. Ended up back/in front of/on the stage! That night opened our eyes! RIP AR

I can't remember them. We were fixated on The Smiths and probably were wishing the support bands would hurry up and get off! 😂

LOST TAPES (or so I thought)

Unearthed at my parents house, not seen for 30 years.
2 TWP gigs from April '86.
C86 tape, result!

£2!! Pints probably a scandalous £1, as well. Expensive night out! 😂

This Poison! @riproaringstuff.bsky.social · 7d

Still there. I used to walk past it every day on my way to work. I'd love to see the flyer if you had a chance to post it.

This Poison! @riproaringstuff.bsky.social · 7d

Remember it well. We supported. Mirrors everywhere.

This Poison! @riproaringstuff.bsky.social · 7d

Yep. Played there twice. Went down a storm, probably cause not much ever happens in Arbroath. The other gig on that tape was Blairgowrie, another small town where zero happens.
Flyer and ticket from one of the Arbroath gigs.

Here's the track list. The guy who made it for me was a real hardcore punk rocker and the last person you'd think would like Hawkwind, but he was partial to the odd magic mushroom which might account for his love for them.

I'll see what I can do. You want a copy of the Hawkwind tape too? It's a cracker!! 🤟

This Poison! @riproaringstuff.bsky.social · 7d

If I said the barber's name was Andy (nickname Big Salv), any more believable?

This Poison! @riproaringstuff.bsky.social · 7d

Some excellent ones, but as I explained to @dustysevens.bsky.social ,the Hawkwind tape isn't really mine. Honest! 😉
The boy Gedge still the fastest strummer in the West! or should that be North?

This Poison! @riproaringstuff.bsky.social · 7d

Ah. Now. Let me explain............

This was my barber while living in Perth who was also the brother a good friend of mine, he was trying to convince me Hawkwind were good and every time I saw him he said he'd make a tape. This is said tape. Not sure I ever played it! 😂

Sorry to hear this. Wishing Bill a speedy recovery! ✊️
Same thing happened to my mum in her mid fifties, thanks to the surgeons, she got through it and recovered pretty quickly. Still living a full life at 82!
