As ashamed to admit it but yes I have been in a band where we were paid off at half time... We were a trio bass drums and guitaist, we all did a bit singing but the guitarist was the guy with the words and the voice Well he had a throat infection days before the gig and as it happens, the night of the gig it sounded like he'd been to a few gigs that very afternoon About three songs in his voice started going terribly, the rest of the set felt like about 3 hours, and as we finiished and went back to the dressing room, the concert chairman came in and said I'm sorry but you's are sh*t....Fair play I thought and was glad I was spared the humiliation of having to do another 45 minutes.... Plus the battery on my pearl pink JD went dead totally out of the blue. I think the venue was cursed.... Ziggy

Hi there, good one.. Mine was (showing my age a bit) Gary Numan at Newcastle City Hall 27 September 1980 whike he was doing TELETOUR 80. I was in the stalls and my ticket cost, wait for it, £3.75, a T-Shirt was £1.50 for my size. A guy called NASH THE SLASH was the support act and he was different Showing you my eclectic taste in music my next gig was at the same venue but the band was Motorhead, the gig when they recorded the No Sleep til \Hammersmith Live CD or album as i was back then... Weird as it is Gary Numan is in North East tonight at Sunderland University campus so might go along as it's pay on the dooer
