Academy 1 (Manchester Academy)

A bite-sized review of Blur's first visit to the Academy on the back of the success of their first three singles. It mentions that the crowd were hysterical watching Damon pull shapes with his onstage antics and over all they sounded great, generating an amazing atmosphere.

Did you attend this gig? Did you swoon at Damon, Graham, Alex or even Dave? If so, we'd love to read your story in the comments section below.

Taken from the Mancunion newspaper, written and edited by University of Manchester students. With thanks to James Peters at the University of Manchester Archives and Ben Ward at University of Manchester Students' Union.
