Brigade
Rafters
7th October 1985

Brigade opening for Butthole Surfers. Not a very big crowd that night as I remember as most people had opted to go to The Ritz (that free bottle of beer too tempting). I remember handing out flyers to the long queue outside The Ritz to attract some of the people into Rafters as I knew it would take them hours to get into the place. I got no takers though.

“Hi Phil. Hope you are keeping well and healthy. It seems like we are getting to that age when people around us are falling out of the tree.
I thought I should add a few photos to the archive to give a bit of history to the music back then”
