Having only been to the Shepherds Bush Empire once before this week I was now at my second concert there in under seven days. This time to see a favourite of mine, New Model Army, whom I'd seen five times before but hadn't since December 1994 (GIG 191). A few of us met up at … Continue reading GIG 277: New Model Army / Det-Ri-Mental – Shepherds Bush Empire, 21st April 1996

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 117: New Model Army / Ed Allyne-Johnson / Power of Dreams – Astoria, 4th May 1993
It’d been a year since I’d last see New Model Army (GIG 101) and, as with that gig, they had Ed Allyne-Johnson as a stand-alone support act for them as well as joining them on stage during their own set with his home built electric violin. In addition they were also joined by Power of … Continue reading GIG 117: New Model Army / Ed Allyne-Johnson / Power of Dreams – Astoria, 4th May 1993
GIG 101: Raw Melody Men (aka New Model Army) / Ed Alleyne-Johnson – The Venue, 16th May 1992
It was my 20th birthday and after spending a day in a London pub we trekked down to the wastelands of "South" London and the New Cross Venue for one of those 'elusive' secret gigs. "Raw Melody Men" were the band whose name graced the tickets and poster next to the venue door but we'd … Continue reading GIG 101: Raw Melody Men (aka New Model Army) / Ed Alleyne-Johnson – The Venue, 16th May 1992
GIG 094: New Model Army / Joolz / Sunshot – Brixton Academy, 19th December 1991
After seeing New Model Army for the first time in the open air supporting The Mission during the summer (GIG 087) this was my first chance to catch them headlining their own show. The show had an absolutely fantastic line-up too - with Joolz and Sunshot making it a brilliant evening. NMA themselves were fantastic … Continue reading GIG 094: New Model Army / Joolz / Sunshot – Brixton Academy, 19th December 1991
GIG 087: The Mission / New Model Army / Killing Joke / The Henry Rollins Band / Bleach – Finsbury Park, 1st June 1991
This was such an epic day out - from the moment I woke up to the moment I crashed. Probably helped by a fantastic nights clubbing at The Electric Ballroom the night before with Dawn & Emily, and the fact that a bunch of us all met up in a pub (for breakfast...ahem) before we … Continue reading GIG 087: The Mission / New Model Army / Killing Joke / The Henry Rollins Band / Bleach – Finsbury Park, 1st June 1991
