None of the photos were of the newcastle show mind...

Nice write up from a man with regained faith nevertheless. Colin used to be a Listee, didn't he?

Just noticed that.

That's a cool review, was an awesome gig! Never noticed that bit about the pictures not being from the actual gig, I thought they were....? show's what I know.

For the Newcastle gig Ginger wore a Distillers shirt.

I saw the band in 1996 play at the Newcastle Mayfair

I didn't see them at the Mayfair in '96,

Has this gig slipped off my radar, and if it did take place, why didn't I go???
I did see them there in '95 though, October 25th it was, support band was Send No Flowers, who I thought were pretty crap at the time, never heard from them again, so I dunno if they got any better or went any further

Check my online bible Wikipedia lol

Send No Flowers were from my hometown (Bristol). They changed their name to Shinola for a bit (I think) and then split. The drummer was the initial drummer for SG5 (he played at the Astoria and the gig before that) - can't remember if he stayed on afterwards. But to be honest, I didn't think they were all that. Drummer was a gent though...
