I first saw Theatre of Hate at The Rainbow on the 11th April 1981, in fact here’s the poster...
...three quid for five bands! The second time was this evening in Southend, they were excellent. Kirk Brandon’s voice was as strong and as high as it was thirty seven years ago, I was mighty impressed. Stan Stammers’ bass rig here, apologies for the pic, blue light innit.
A great night.
