Big Audio Dynamite

1985 22 November - The International, Manchester. Their 5th gig. Remember Mick Hucknall being their in his original 'Money to tight to mention' look (cap'n all). Great gig.

OMD

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark [OMD] - Bristol Colston Hall, 1980(?) - drove down from Hereford with Craig, Malc and Brian(?). I can remember looking down on the stage from above, and the tape machine on stage. A good gig as I remember. That first LP, with the fantastic sleeve was great. I'd been using Simmonds electonic drums since we aquired a pair in Gibraltar in 1980. Mostly used for Star Wars noises in St Michael's cave.
