A musical history
Liam Tatlock
It's been a while since the last awe-inspiring article from me, so time for another dive into my musical past. A link between the artists this time being groups that I've seen live (which really isn't as many as I'd like it to have been).
The first concert I ever went to (at Salford University) was by this group
These I saw at Hull, supporting John Cooper-Clarke. They were booed off stage by the numpties there, but I've always liked Chris Sievey for his great pop songs
I've loved Genesis since the seventies, but I've never seen the classic line-up together. I've seen them separately, but never together at their peak.
And finally back to Hull University. I missed the first Be Stiff tour with the likes of Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe & Ian Dury, so I was determined to go to the second one, which came to Hull University, where I was studying. It wasn't as good, but it didn't break the bank and was better than studying.
Next chapter will probably be groups and artists that I really would liked to have seen!

The first concert I saw was The Cars and Starship.
Long time ago.
I was pretty old though the first time I went to a concert.
I was 18. We went with a mate who had just passed his driving test. Seeing me pogo was a sight and a half I'm told.
Same here. A friend just got his license and we went with a couple of other people. Then the floodgates opened and we went to quite a few shows but I have not been to a concert since college.
Blondie 😛 One of the earliest artists in the punk scene. Even if she took it in a different direction in the 80s, i still enjoy a few of their songs.
