*envy* I spent hours watching & re-watching Live After Death. For years, that video defined live albums for me.Like it was yesterday. Iron Maiden, World Slavery Tour, 5th October 1984. Southampton Gaumont (now the Mayflower). Supported by Pete Way (UFO) and his then new band Waysted. Life changing stuff.
I probably would've been.I knew some under age drinker on here would remember the New Inn! I only used to drink the Mild when I didn't have enough cash for a pint of Harp (yuck!). The only people that were ever in there were under age drinkers or old men playing dominoes. You and your mates must have been a bridge between the two! If you ever ventured in on a Friday in 1996 or 97 I'd have probably also been in there.
If you also saw them in 1995 I'd have been at that gig as well. Between 1994-1996 it seemed like I went to most rock/indie gigs at the Civic/Wulfrun so there's a high chance of us going to a lot of similar gigs (I remember you saying you were at Reef in 1995 which I also went to - I think it only cost about £7!)
What about Therapy? On their Troublegum tour?
I should post a gig list with the album in front of me...
Proper hardcore peeps will also remember Irish Harp - had a conversation about that on the way home from a funeral!A pint of Harp! I remember that - that was for the weekend, not a school night
Have you ever got up really early to go and queue for something in a sale ?No, but I have gone on the odd occasion to get a record on day of release. Never queued though
Do you prefer sponge cake or fruit cake ?
As long as there's no nuts, I don't mind.
Are you any good at hanging wallpaper ?
Never done it - for shame!
Have you ever tried to research your Family Tree ?
Very minimally. My dad is doing it at the moment.
What's your favourite thing to put in/on a jacket potato ?
a little butter, & cheese. Keep it simple, one foot in front of the other.
How old were you when you left home for the first time to start ventures new ?
I stayed at home a very long time in many many ways, mainly owing to cost, despite being very independent. I was about 30 when I properly left, but that said I had stuff there still til this year when I officially moved out. Both my parents have mild disabilities too, so I'm a carer to both, so there's always a reason for me to drop in a lot.
Favourite flavour of Aero , choc, mint, or orange ?
Probably mint.
Have you ever dated a friends ex ?
I got asked out by a mates ex once. It felt incestuous, so I said no. Some groups of people I knew were virtual wife swappers the amount of changing went on between them.
Is there a big sporting event that you would love to go to but have never been able to for whatever reason ( and you cant put ' yeah, being there to see Wolves win the Prem ' !! ) ?
Love to attend a Wimbledon final, Wolves at wembley, or even an FA cup final.
Do you believe in luck ?
Yes. I get shitloads of bad luck!
