Friday night and my third concert in seven days - and the pick of the crop for me as I was getting to see one of my favourite bands again. I was surprised whilst writing this entry that I hadn't actually seen The Mission since their open air Finsbury Park gig (GIG 087) with New … Continue reading GIG 151: The Mission / The Newcranes – The Forum, 18th February 1994

GIG 150: Huggy Bear – Camden Palace, 15th February 1994
Tuesday night and The Feet First Club at the Camden Palace once again beckoned. A fairly large group of us descended on Mornington Crescent, took the walk up the steps to the once grand old theatre, paid our dues at the door, and hit the dancefloor ands bars within. I loved Camden Palace. It was … Continue reading GIG 150: Huggy Bear – Camden Palace, 15th February 1994
GIG 149: Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction / Black Maria / Peer Pressure – Marquee, 12th February 1994
I had previously seen Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction back in 1992 at The Town & Country Club in Kentish Town (GIG 097). I'd actually forgotten I saw them again at this gig a couple of years later - and at the much smaller Marquee. I'd have thought that seeing them at a small … Continue reading GIG 149: Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction / Black Maria / Peer Pressure – Marquee, 12th February 1994
GIG 148: Skyscraper – Camden Palace, 8th February 1994
I was, at this point, still only an infrequent visitor to Camden Palace's Feet First Alternative Night on Tuesday's. I loved the venue, but had probably only been about a dozen times in four years - although that would change pretty quickly. Todays midnight band was a British rock band called Skyscraper. I'd not really … Continue reading GIG 148: Skyscraper – Camden Palace, 8th February 1994
(Poetry) Japanese Inn
Along with reams of short stories, and longer attempts at fiction, I’ve written countless poems over the decades. The bulk were written in my teens and twenties and I literally have folders full of handwritten and typewritten compositions. I’d been threatening to put a selection into print since the mid-90’s. I remember discussing it with … Continue reading (Poetry) Japanese Inn
GIG 147: Restoration II / Enrapture / Cries of Tammuz – The Bull & Gate, 31st January 1994
I'd been at the London Toy & Game Fair at Olympia all weekend, scouting out all the cool new games that would be seeing the light of day over the next 12 months (plus sneaking a peek at the new Lego, Playmobil and other toys that we didn't stock at Leisure Games but I had … Continue reading GIG 147: Restoration II / Enrapture / Cries of Tammuz – The Bull & Gate, 31st January 1994

GIG 146: Incubus Succubus / The Witches / Seventh Wave – Marquee, 23rd January 1994
Another Sunday night, another goth gig at The Marquee on Charing Cross Road in London. One of my favourite venues, despite the fact that you'd stick to the floor like superglue if you stayed still for more than 5 seconds in front of the stage. This evening saw my sixth Incubus Succubus gig, and all … Continue reading GIG 146: Incubus Succubus / The Witches / Seventh Wave – Marquee, 23rd January 1994
GIG 145: Vendemmian / Curse In Vain / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 16th January 1994
1994. Magic: The Gathering had really taken hold in a big way and we were playing loads of the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop RPG. Despite all the gaming I was still managing to get out to gigs and go clubbing and it only took sixteen days into the new year for me to get down … Continue reading GIG 145: Vendemmian / Curse In Vain / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 16th January 1994
