Gigography 1982

Feb

19 Edinburgh (unidentified venue, possibly University, as below: John Peel Roadshow, Sophisticated Boom Boom,Strawberry Switchblade, Guests

20 University Of Edinburgh: John Peel Roadshow, with Those Horrible Sexy Vampires and TV21 playing. John had a dodgy microphone and a migraine at the time. He also remembers somebody spitting on his car back window: "Isn't that a revolutionary gesture?" [195] (I was there! I remember plucking up the courage to hand him a request but not quite enough courage to do anything more than chuck it at him and run away! When I listened to the show on 22 February 1982 earlier this year (2010) for the first time, I thought I might hear my request at last. Bizarrely I did not but instead to my astonishment heard him read out a request he had been handed by a current work colleague of mine who had unknown to me, been at the gig as well (incidentally, for the Scars one of my own local faves from the time who my colleague used to jam with). I recently played the request to my colleague, it was first time he knew it had been read out. He heard his Scars request 28 years late.... - User:Weatherman22)
