I went to that gig but fucked my ankle trying to play in the mosh pit (I had no idea what was going on really) so spent most of it propped up against a wall. Mudhoney blew my tiny mind. No idea how I got there and back though but sounds like you played a blinder on the driving front Anyone heard from Martin recently?
Anyone heard from Martin recently?
I was at that gig but didn't know all you lot back then.

Must be more people from here?
Just remembered another interesting night about 20-25 years ago. Me and about 15 others went to Manchester Poly to see Tad, Nirvana and Mudhoney in the Schuch van. I was driving so played by the rules and had a pint over the whole evening - which was a fucking great gig, long before grunge became big. Others were not so restrained in their intake, Hippy Martin had a lot of shrooms with him.Anyway driving back through Glossop we get pulled, back light out. So coppers come to the window and ask 1) have you had a drink and 2) how many in the back. Yes and about 15 so off I go to the police car to get breathalysed (I passed as only 1 pint) and get told off for having so many in the back of the van as it wasn't a passenger vehicle.Meanwhile FBSF is in the passenger seat next to Martin. Martin is busy panicking as already explained and everyone in the back is busy working out how to stash their 'gear'. Copper asks FBSF if there is anyone in the back and gets the answer no. Copper took FBSF's word for it.Also the van must have stank of whatever the bad boys in the back were smoking Copper must have had a cold or something.Unbelievably the coppers don't confer, I get a producer and we are on our way. The trip back across the Snake was very sedate. Obviously the Schuch van had no MOT but I got let off!Who was in that van?Me, FBSF, Hippy Martin, Big Al, Ade plus about 10 others, but who were they?
Were you the guy at the back in the cool leather jacket, stubble and the quiff?

was one of the ones in the back - good times. I can't remember if it was that Mudhoney gig or another one, but I ended up at the Northern General with Dave 'The Bear' Wilkinson after one of his earrings had been ripped out in a stage diving 'incident'.
