The Kerrang-Carlsberg Tour 1995 rolled into London and took over The Astoria for the night. Four bands, three of whom I'd seen before, and a night of headbanding awaited. I had a week off so really had no excuse for arriving late at this gig. But for some reason we did arrive late and unfortunately … Continue reading GIG 215: Warrior Soul / Clawfinger / Headswin / Misery Loves Co. – Astoria, 15th June 1995
#RPGaDAY2022 Day 23 – What situation is your character currently in?
Welcome to #RPGaDAY2022! Now in its ninth year, #RPGaDAY was originally created by RPG author and games designer David Chapman (Conspiracy X, Doctor Who, etc) as a bit of fun and to get people talking about tabletop roleplaying games. August was chosen, I believe, to coincide with tabletop roleplaying’s gaming mecca that is Gen Con … Continue reading #RPGaDAY2022 Day 23 – What situation is your character currently in?
GIG 214: Whale / Ringo – The Water Rats, 12th June 1995
I could have been in Stockholm for this gig rather than London. Michael, Francesca and I were three of very few Brits in The Water Rats on this Monday evening. Whale were pretty popular in their native Sweden and had scored a top 10 hit over there, whereas it would only be somepoint this month … Continue reading GIG 214: Whale / Ringo – The Water Rats, 12th June 1995

GIG 213: The Marionettes / Dream Disciples / Witching Hour – The Underworld, 9th June 1995
Friday night and a Camden double bill of a gig at The Underworld followed by clubbing at The Electric Ballroom for their Full Tilt night. Loads of people were out and a great night beckoned. I'd seen first support, Witching Hour, a few years before (GIG 098) and had really enjoyed them at the time. … Continue reading GIG 213: The Marionettes / Dream Disciples / Witching Hour – The Underworld, 9th June 1995

GIG 212: Rubicon / Angora – The Borderline, 7th June 1995
I'd last seen Rubicon back in 1992 (GIG 103) on their first tour after forming in the wake of The Fields of The Nephilim splitting up. I'd not really heard much of them in the intervening years but spotted they were playing a gig at The Borderline so a few of us brought tickets and … Continue reading GIG 212: Rubicon / Angora – The Borderline, 7th June 1995

GIG 211: Cries of Tammuz / Revolution By Night / Manuskript – Marquee, 4th June 1995
A great line-up for the regular Sunday Night Goth Night at The Marquee on Charing Cross Road. Not only because two of my mates bands were playing (who were both also really good) but also because Manuskript were also opening and they were great too! There was quite a crowd and it was one of … Continue reading GIG 211: Cries of Tammuz / Revolution By Night / Manuskript – Marquee, 4th June 1995
