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 4 – Where would you host a first game?
GIG 195: Cries of Tammuz / The Last Dance / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 8th January 1995
The first of the Marquee's Sunday night 'Goth' gig of the year, and a return to the stage of Cries of Tammuz, so a chance to catch up with Paul and the rest of the band, as well as loads of the regulars on the gig circuit whom I'd not seen since before the holidays. … Continue reading GIG 195: Cries of Tammuz / The Last Dance / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 8th January 1995

GIG 194: Judda / Andromeda Strain / Nylon – The Borderline, 5th January 1995
It only took my five days of 1995 to get to my first gig of the year, and it was to see an old favourite - Judda. For a Thursday night gig in the first week after the Christmas/New Years holidays it was pretty well attended with loads of people I knew at the show. … Continue reading GIG 194: Judda / Andromeda Strain / Nylon – The Borderline, 5th January 1995

GIG 193: Balaam & The Angel / Stella Madris / Zion – The Water Rats, 30th December 1994
It was the day before New Years Eve, the final Friday of 1994, and my last gig of a very eventful year.

GIG 192: The Blue Aeroplanes – Camden Palace, 20th December 1994
This was kind of our Christmas Party in some ways. A hoit of us all met up at The World's End pub in Camden after work for a few drinks and then headed down the road to Mornington Crescent for the Feet First Club at Camden Palace. I hadn't been to Feet First in about … Continue reading GIG 192: The Blue Aeroplanes – Camden Palace, 20th December 1994
GIG 191: New Model Army / Dub War – The Forum, 15th December 1994
New Model Army love their December gigs. Not sure why but pretty much every year they tour just before Christmas and even back in 1994 it was apparently no different. So we found ourselves, on a chilly Thursday December evening, in Kentish Town to see the Army at The Forum. This was the fifth time … Continue reading GIG 191: New Model Army / Dub War – The Forum, 15th December 1994
GIG 190: Cardiacs / Frog / Pop.A.Cat.A.Petal – LA2, 10th December 1994
I'd previously seen the Cardiacs at Feet First in Camden Palace earlier in the year (GIG 156) and really enjoyed them. They were also one of the favourite bands of one of my best friends, Alex, who was back for the weekend (or maybe Christmas) from Oxford Uni so I hooked up with her and … Continue reading GIG 190: Cardiacs / Frog / Pop.A.Cat.A.Petal – LA2, 10th December 1994
