Back in London after a week away in my hometown, Lowestoft, visiting my grandparents with one of my sisters, followed by a weekend away in Flitwick visiting Michaels parents and friends, and Tuesday's Feet First club conveniently came around again giving all involved the perfect excuse (as if we needed one) to all meet up … Continue reading GIG 226: China Drum / Paw – Camden Palace, 22nd August 1995

GIG 224: Dub War – Camden Palace, 8th August 1995
I'd seen Dub War supporting New Model Army the previous December (GIG 191) and had really liked them. So the fact they were playing the Feet First Club at Camden Palace, and I had a guest pass for the club, meant it was a complete no-brainer for me to end up in Morning Crescent until … Continue reading GIG 224: Dub War – Camden Palace, 8th August 1995
GIG 208: Warrior Soul – Camden Palace, 9th May 1995
Tuesday night and The Feet First Indie Rock night at Camden Palace in Mornington Crescent beckoned - with American rock band Warrior Soul taking the midnight live band slot. A few of us met up at The Southampton Arms, the pub opposite Camden Palace, for a few drinks before heading over the road for the … Continue reading GIG 208: Warrior Soul – Camden Palace, 9th May 1995
GIG 204: Credit To The Nation – Camden Palace, 11th April 1995
Credit To The Nation were a British hip-hop group that had become pretty popular on the Indie scene - especially since their 1993 single "Call It What You Want" which sampled Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Other tracks followed, including the brilliant "Enough Is Enough" which they did with long time associates and friends Chumbawamba. … Continue reading GIG 204: Credit To The Nation – Camden Palace, 11th April 1995
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 172: Eskimos & Egypt – Camden Palace, 31st May 1994
I was really looking forward to this evenings trip down to Feet First at Camden Palace. The fact that I'd probably not managed to get to bed earlier than about 2am over the last two weeks due to gigs, clubbing, Gen Con UK, and playtesting White Wolf's Wraith: The Oblivion - whilst still managing to … Continue reading GIG 172: Eskimos & Egypt – Camden Palace, 31st May 1994
GIG 162: Monsterland – Camden Palace, 5th April 1994
Not content with a jammed packed Easter Weekend my first day back at work concluded with a trip in to Camden and then off to Camden Palace for the regular Tuesday night "Feet First" club. A friend, Oli, was turning 16 the next day so it was an excuse for a party. The band of … Continue reading GIG 162: Monsterland – Camden Palace, 5th April 1994
GIG 156: Cardiacs – Camden Palace, 15th March 1994
Another Tuesday, and another night at Feet First at Camden Palace. Tonights band was the Cardiacs, who had formed back in 1977 and continued to play up to 2007. They would have continued for longer but frontman Tim Smith suffered a heart attack in June 2008 after leaving a My Bloody Valentine gig which left … Continue reading GIG 156: Cardiacs – Camden Palace, 15th March 1994
GIG 152: CNN / Maitreya – Camden Palace, 22nd February 1994
Camden Palace at it's best. Tonight was a combination of a fantastic crowd, fantastic band (or bands on this occasion as it was one of the rare times that the Feet First Club had two bands playing on the same night), at an already fantastic club and venue. Now I used to go to Camden … Continue reading GIG 152: CNN / Maitreya – Camden Palace, 22nd 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
