My first Glastonbury Festival. Only cost £75 back in 1997, a far cry from the £355 that the 2024 festival is costing. Mind you there were also only 90,000 tickets back in 1997 whilst next year sees 210,000 people - so it's grown a fair bit in the last 25+ years since I first went. … Continue reading GIG 337: Glastonbury ’97 Day 1: The Prodigy / Smashing Pumpkins / Placebo / The Divine Comedy / Beck / The Levellers / Terrorvision – Glastonbury Festival, 27th June 1997
The Levellers
GIG 235: The Levellers / Prophets of da City / Cecil – Brixton Academy, 6th October 1995
Surprisingly I hadn't seen The Levellers since 1992 (GIG 108) when I'd seen them at the NEC in Birmingham. Not quite sure how I'd not seen the in the (almost) three years since then, but it was Friday night and I was finally catching them again. I was originally going to this with a friend … Continue reading GIG 235: The Levellers / Prophets of da City / Cecil – Brixton Academy, 6th October 1995
GIG 108: The Levellers / Moonflowers – Birmingham NEC, 19th December 1992
To be honest, I have no idea how we ended up at this gig. I'm pretty sure it was one of those last minute "hey Angus, we have some spare tickets for a gig tonight, wanna come?" moments. All I know is that I ended up having a really hectic and long day. It was … Continue reading GIG 108: The Levellers / Moonflowers – Birmingham NEC, 19th December 1992
GIG 100: The Levellers / Back To The Planet – Brixton Academy, 15th May 1992
It was the day before my 20th birthday and my 100th gig... and what better band to see to celebrate it than one of the best all-time live bands, the mighty Levellers. I'd seen The Levellers only once before (the previous October (GIG 093) at The Town & Country Club in Kentish Town) but this … Continue reading GIG 100: The Levellers / Back To The Planet – Brixton Academy, 15th May 1992
GIG 093: The Levellers / Sand Kings / ? – The Town & Country Club, 27th October 1991
This was the first time (of many) that I saw The Levellers live. Their "A Weapon Called The World" album had been released in 1990 and I'd also picked up a host of their early EPs on 12" over the previous few months after being introduced to them by Dawn. Now, if you've never seen … Continue reading GIG 093: The Levellers / Sand Kings / ? – The Town & Country Club, 27th October 1991
