I was lucky enough when I was working in London to work for once at a music company and then a well known radio station so I could blag free tickets to gigs I was interested in. But I would pay major bucks to see the old Two Tone gigs, even tough it means travelling back in time lol. It still cracks me up the Daniel O'Donnell gig Shhh! Daniels singing! |

Well Trish, when I saw Debbie Harry in the 70s it was IMPOSSIBLE to take my eyes off her ! Seem to remember she was wearing a white miniskirt too - those were the days ! Rick. |

Christine, I put the ticket stubs in the CD covers these days, but didn't always hang on to them before. I do have a set list from the Dolly Mixture (remember them?) in an old scrap book from a gig at the Moonlight Club about 1980. Bet Maz is killing herself over that ! More proof of anorakdom - as if it were needed :-) Rick. |

My mate's mate has over 4000 cds and writes a personal review of what he thinks for each cd and inserts it inside each cd jewel case. Dedication for you! |

Leonard Cohen at the Albert Hall followed by Clannad - Manchester Joan Baez - Nottingham Pink Floyd - Trentham Gardens ELO - Stafford As my dad says about Leonard Cohen.....turn the poor bugger off and let him go to sleep! |
