Jack Monroe #38 Will she call her next cat Sue Purrkins?

Love the thread title. It reminds me of some great dog name puns thought up by Joe Lycett for his consumer programme

Ohhh NKOTB were the first band I saw live. Manchester G-Mex December 1991. I believe Marky Mark Wahlberg and his funky bunch got beaten up in Pizza Hut after the gig. Consequently Nirvana were the support act for the next U.K. dates. Little bit of pop trivia for you there



Absolute filth

Mine was The Wildhearts.


Can't remember where, other than it was Camden. There may have been pre gig beers involved.

Mine was Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine when I was 12.

Wow, I feel old

Blondie, Deeside Leisure Centre, 1980, aged 15, confirming I'm old!

Steady on! Mine was Teardrop Explodes in 1981... now I'm feeling ancient!

Anyone remember this bad boy?View attachment 171203 q
The nkotb talk is making me feel even older. Duran Duran all the way

Is that some kind of weird, waxy solid perfume? I'm getting flashbacks of my gran...

I tell people my first live gig was the Stereophonics but really it was Westlife

I saw Teardrop Explode too, in Liverpool, either the Royal Court or Empire (can't remember) They were fab! I bought myself ankle boots and wore a scarf just like Julian Cope.

I was there too! But 10 years older.

 

[Marj24]

I was there too!!!!!

Great atmosphere but the acoustics were terrible!

I didn't go to my first gig till I was quite old and it was my best friends favourite band called bowling for soup, circa about 2002.

Plus living in Belfast you didn't get very many decent bands

My follow up gig was Haircut 100, not quite as 'cool'

 

[Universal]

The Monkees (it was one of their later tours...) at the Liverpool Empire.

If that was at the Liverpool Empire i was there too. May be not very cool but they were great!

 

[Jay-cloth Cow]

My first gig (I don't think i can call it a gig) was steps

 

[Spanner]

Mine was Blur (it was the 90s)

You've a better memory than me. Your comment just brought it back to me. Why I was in Deeside watching Blondie, I could't tell you, I was never really a fan, and probably a bit old. Strange.

 

[peperomia]

They are FABULOUS, darling.

ETA: I have a pair in patent black. I have just realised this.

Mwah mwah thank u thank u. Perhaps we should wear them to court.

Oh God it's time for one of my irrationally emotional responses on the MOGLITS EMOTIONAL EXPRESS.

The phrase "jelly shoes" and the...I dunno, round and glitzy childishness of them is setting me off. FFS where's my bottle of lady petrol.

(They are lush, BTW, my slightly damp eyes should not detract from that)

Aw moglits <3

I’m pretty sure my first gig was simple minds at Ibrox in 1986. Also saw big country, the proclaimers around the same time, Lloyd Cole was the support for Simple minds that day.

One of the best gigs I ever saw was ............ Sophie Ellis Bextor. Was working at it and I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan but she was really good.

Just bought some of the Jamie Oliver range (chickpeas, quinoa) from Lidl. It’s much cheaper than anywhere else you can buy it. Oddly enough probably wouldn’t have bought it if not for this thread.
