Gigs From History: 1999
Here's all the gigs we played in 1999, along with any details of the night I can remember. If there's a blog entry you can click on the date to read it.Sunday 17 January 1999 | The Durham Ox, Leicester A LollopaLeicester special, with The Durham Ox Singers and, I think, Kev Hewick. |
Sunday 17 January 1999 | The Durham Ox, Leicester The Durham Ox Singers set at LollopaLeicester. |
Monday 18 January 1999 | The Loft (Derby), Derby Playing with Sienna - I think this may have been their final gig. |
Wednesday 20 January 1999 | ![]() Originally I thought this gig was at The Bull & Gate, because the note for this gig said "A good night, after which I gave Steve Lamacq a demo tape. I bet that'd never happened to him before", and I distinctly remember doing that there. HOWEVER research some twenty years later by Mr FA Machine revealed a RECIEPT for payment for this gig Upstairs At The Garage, and a few months later Ms R Delgado posted a picture of the actual flyer, so this was definitely where it happened. I think I also seperately gave Steve Lamacq a tape after a John Sims gig at The Bull & Gate, hence the confusion! |
