It’s 1989 and something baggy is brewing in Manchester. In the same night we get not just the Stone Roses playing Fools Gold on TOTP but also these scallies with the lovely Kirsty MacColl 🖤

Band playing a gig
My 1st gig of 50 today at the #GigLifeCrisis Gathering in Cheltenham. If you don’t know the FB group it’s a fun hangout with folk who do ALOT of gigs & they host a few mini-festivals every year.
