Look at that gig list! It was damned unfair that I was living in Warwick or London most of that time. Still, I managed to catch a few great gigs there. Most memorable, The Pixies in August 1990 – positively nuclear, so many people were crammed in that tiny hall! When we got out, we looked longingly at the cool water of the river…

Worst gig: possibly Juliana “I find myself endlessly fascinating” Hatfield’s first solo outing after the Blake Babies. She was either having a bad hair day, or trying to prove how horrible she could sound if she tried.

Can’t see that Chipper gig listed, though! ;p
