I was actually a pretty big Dare fan so the chance to see them play live, and at a small venue like The Marquee, was great. I ended up seeing them a couple of times, took quite a few photos of the gigs, and got to meet the band too - so overall I was happy.They … Continue reading GIG 023: Dare / First Strike – Marquee, 27th July 1989

GIG 022: 100 Men / Protocol / Trash- Marquee, 26th July 1989
Going to see 100 Men was a bit of an accident. Not an 'accident' in a bad way, just not planned. I had popped down to The Marquee to pick up a ticket for the band playing the following night (Dare - GIG 023) and once I got there decided to hang around and see … Continue reading GIG 022: 100 Men / Protocol / Trash- Marquee, 26th July 1989
GIG 020: Romeo’s Daughter / 3 Rivers – Marquee, 12th July 1989
I almost didn't make it to see Romeo's Daughter. There was a tube strike and I had to bus it in to the centre of London, and then managed to get a night bus part of the way home before having to walk the remainder of the 3 or 4 miles.Romeo's Daughter were about to have … Continue reading GIG 020: Romeo’s Daughter / 3 Rivers – Marquee, 12th July 1989
GIG 015: Dawn After Dark / Victims of Pestilence / Creaming Jesus – Marquee, 24th May 1989
I'd seen Dawn After Dark a few months previously supporting Rose of Avalanche and they had obviously impressed enough to head over to the Marquee to catch them again. I'm very glad I did as the gig also introduced me to a band which I ended up seeing a load of times and who always put … Continue reading GIG 015: Dawn After Dark / Victims of Pestilence / Creaming Jesus – Marquee, 24th May 1989
GIG 012: Wrathchild / Feline Groove – Marquee, 29th April 1989
Yes, another Wrathchild gig. Still wasn't feeling 'the love' for them though. I think this was the last time I went to see them. No idea if my friends kept going but what had originally been a so-so band to me just got that little bit too repetitive. https://youtu.be/PgYI9dHvEUE Wrathchild - Nukklear Rokket Price: Unknown
GIG 011: Warlock (Doro Pesch) / Raw Deal – Marquee, 17th March 1989
I remember being thrilled, but surprised, that Doro Pesch (whom I think had just left Warlock) was playing the Marquee. I was sure she should have been playing venues like the Town & Country Club (which was much larger) so to see her in such an intimate venue was brilliant.Decidedly very 'Metal' I loved the Germanic … Continue reading GIG 011: Warlock (Doro Pesch) / Raw Deal – Marquee, 17th March 1989
GIG 009: King Swamp / Glory – Marquee, 13th March 1989
King Swamp were a vastly underrated band. They had a bloody fantastic record (I had the cassette at the time, brought the vinyl in 2004 and managed to find the CD in 2010), one which we played to death in the Sixth Form Common Room. You can listen to their self-titled debut album on Spotify. They … Continue reading GIG 009: King Swamp / Glory – Marquee, 13th March 1989
