SENSELESS THINGS - Keele University - 4th Mar 1995

This one was a memorable show if a little bizarre...  I remember getting to Keele and not even being able to find any sign that a show was even happening.  I believe we eventually found our way into the student union bar and eventually found the room where the gig was.  We got their early because I remember that we saw Minxus (although I remember nothing more about them) and AC Acoustics who I had heard of and were pretty good.  Even by the time the Senseless things came onstage I think I remember that the crowd was still tiny and we pretty much had free reign on the front barrier.  I remember the Senseless Things set was full of energy ( I only knew one song though...) and a good night was had by all.

SLEEPER - Stoke Wheatsheaf - 22nd Feb 1995

Back at the Wheatsheaf once again to see Sleeper - not exactly in line with our metal tastes but their catchy indie-pop tunes made them very likable.  I went to this one with Deano (I remember I went straight from a WH Smith work night out at the Bowling in Hanley!) and the place was packed.  Nyack were the support.
