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.

GIG 328: Faith No More – Astoria, 14th May 1997
I really can't recall if Faith No More actually had a support band or not (I know they had special guests on the ticket).

GIG 326 : The Merry Thoughts / Revolution By Night / Nekromantic – Borderline, 4th May 1997

To be honest he did … Continue reading GIG 326 : The Merry Thoughts / Revolution By Night / Nekromantic – Borderline, 4th May 1997
