Should be a good gig, hopefully Shane will turn up semi-sober!!
I saw them there early 90's,the place was covered with old bill,even in the tube station,old bill with police dogs:eek: ,police vans all over the place,it was like going to see the wall v ham.
Yip, saw them in '87 they were brilliant one of the best gigs I've seen, Kirsty McColl was excellent as well. Wouldn't mind the old bill haven't seen many of them in Brixton in years!!!Quote:

well how was it suckas
I got given 6 free tickets to see them last year. was superb. couldnt understand a word he said when he was talking, but as soon as he was singing, he was class. added bonus was getting one over on a tout by giving a way a spare to a fella who was about to pay the tout £50 for it.
Hope they are as good as last year.
Sold a ticket for a £10 to a tout just after 8pm couldn't be bothered waiting about, also seemed to be alot of tickets floating about..Quote:
