Thanks to @gmessy.bsky.social for the heads up on the documentary. In 2008, my friend gave me a cassette of two Vic Chesnutt albums, not long before my friend took his own life. Here’s to Mark, Vic & my dearly missed friend S. 🖤💔

Jock McDonald between Jobson and Jones.

That’s the one. 👍

The Smiths/Red Guitars gig in Newcastle was in 1984. I put a 50 seater coach on from Carlisle. Advertised in the local record shop as “This Charming Tour” cool huh, mebs not. 😀

Sounds like the same tour.

Such a brilliant band, wish I’d seen them more than the one time in Newcastle.

I’ll look into that. Having bought the music mags in the late 70’s and all through the 80’s I’m familiar with The Shend, without ever delving too deep.

I vaguely recognise the album title. Having looked into the band, I know The Cravats, and I’ve seen And Also The Trees. I need to investigate.

Tbh, I’ve never heard of them. Googled them and their debut album was rereleased on Fire Records, my brother was on that label.

26, forgot I saw 23 Skidoo.

Nice list, reckon I’ve seen at least 25 of them. Probably 2 in my top 5, I think.

Always have a Plan B. 😀
