The main reason for going to The Dublin Castle in Camden on this chilly Thursday evening was to see Sunshot, whom I'd seen five times before but Melissa had never seen. I'd also never been to the legendary Dublin Castle before so this visit was long overdue. We got their early so sat around having … Continue reading GIG 261: Sunshot / Space – The Dublin Castle, 25th January 1996

GIG 218: Sunshot / John Palmer / The Valley Of The Dolls – Borderline, 3rd July 1995
Saturday may have seen us at Wembley Arena seeing big pop acts, but come Monday evening Mike and myself were back at The Borderline for something much more our usual fare of music. Tonight was a chance to see Sunshot again. I hadn't seen them for over a year (GIG 169) and that was way … Continue reading GIG 218: Sunshot / John Palmer / The Valley Of The Dolls – Borderline, 3rd July 1995
GIG 169: CNN / Sunshot / Sulphur – Marquee, 12th May 1994
Thursday evening was usually our local games club, which in 1994 had been rather dominated by the Magic: The Gathering card game that had been released the previous year and took the gaming world by storm. To the extent that almost 30 years later it's still growing in popularity and helped earn it's publisher, Wizards … Continue reading GIG 169: CNN / Sunshot / Sulphur – Marquee, 12th May 1994
GIG 106: Creaming Jesus / Sunshot / Homage Freaks – The Marquee, 8th November 1992
I loved The Marquee on Charing Cross Road. Sure, you're shoes would stick to the floor in front of the stage if you stayed still longer than a couple of seconds and they served sometimes not-so-cold beer or cider in plastic pints, but it was a fantastic little venue and one that I spent a … Continue reading GIG 106: Creaming Jesus / Sunshot / Homage Freaks – The Marquee, 8th November 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
GIG077: Sunshot / Mojo Ride – The Dome, 5th March 1991
Sunshot were a great London based band that I ended up seeing quite a few times. The three piece comprised of Maria Brannigan, Toby Bricheno (younger brother of Tim who was in All About Eve and The Sisters of Mercy) and Finnish bassist Taru Tuomisaari-Phillips. They played a kind of blend of so-called "shoegaze" with … Continue reading GIG077: Sunshot / Mojo Ride – The Dome, 5th March 1991
