Loved this - had a good chat with both Jake and Pauline afterwards - they were both lovely. Ticket is signed by Jake but has faded a bit. JJ Burnell was not their unfortunately. @JakeBurnsSLF @paulineblack

The Stranglers - Coventry 1981 with the obligatory badge, plus you could buy a Jet Black drumstick on the merchandise stall!!. I think it was £1.50? @StranglersSite PuNk and Stuff PunkAndNewWave @PunkArt1977 Punkrock History @CoventryEmpire

#OTD 31 years ago another night at Leeds Poly to see The Damned original line up (not quite how it's spelt on the ticket) They only played their early stuff, brilliant night. So for those that didn't understand and shouted for Eloise at the encore, unlucky 👍

Siouxsie and the Banshees played Edinburgh Playhouse 42 years ago today, supported by The Comsat Angels. Israel kicked off a stunning set, here’s my ticket, a steal at £3.50. Thrilled to be seeing Siouxsie again this year 🖤 Scottish Post-Punk PunkAndNewWave GC's Punk & New Wave

Slim Jim Phantom rocking the Birmingham Academy last night with Stiff Little Fingers. Great set! Slim Jim Phantom

Unlike me, my wife kept her concert ticket stubs. This is but a tiny fraction of them.

On this day in 1979, I was watching the #Skids at The Limit in Sheffield. As far as I remember, they played T.V. Stars three times [might have only been twice]. Brilliant night. This ticket is someone's for the earlier Matinee show.

#OTD seems to have been a good day to see SLF

Cockney Rejects @ The Robin in Bilston. One of the bands I never got to see back in the day, so great to finally see them live. Great gig Cockney Rejects PuNk and Stuff @80sOiClassics

Nice photo of me & my best pal representing the ladies of 2-tone, at last week's BFI IMAX Dance Craze shindig. As usual, upholding the sartorially strict dress code for 2-tone functions, but with a soupçon of originality;-)

Published today - looking forward to reading, was our bible in the 80’s for all things metal. Haven’t picked up a copy for 30+ years but will enjoy catching up. Remember some of those early covers like they were yesterday Michael Hann Home Of Metal Kerrang!

Next in my short series - Free Flexi Friday I give you ‘The Olympian’ by The Skids and ‘Ten Feet Tall’ by XTC. This one, obviously, came free with Smash Hits. 🖤 Notoldjustexperienced Michael Williams (Mikey) Andrew Ffrench @zap210 PunkAndNewWave Scottish Post-Punk PuNk and Stuff

Andre Rieu - Birmingham April 2023. Not my usual type of thing but it was a birthday present for the Mother-in-Law. Good seats on front row, and to be honest good fun and quite an impressive array of very talented musicians etc!

On this day in 1977, Don Letts, Ray Gange and a 24-year-old Joe Strummer attended an all-nighter at Hammersmith Palais in London. The event inspired Joe to write, in my opinion, the greatest song of all-time.

Looking forward to reading Geezer Butler’s new book - ‘Into the Void’ out this week - signed copy just received in the post Geezer Butler Home Of Metal BlackSabbath Monsters Of Rock® @

Oasis Podcast Jack White - saw them at SECC and he was hit square in the coupon with a trainer. Shook his head, kept singing. Security were checking everyone’s feet as we filed out after the gig. gigarchive

Just finished Glen Matlock’s book “Triggers” a great read. Each chapter is named after a song that meant something at a period in time. Wasn’t aware of many of them, so will be doing myself a playlist and looking forward to discovering them Glen Matlock
