Artefact

Backstage Pass
Manchester Polytechnic Mandela Building
9th October 1982

Another blagged pass.Must have only gone 'cos it was free.I think it was more from the Gary Bushell school of musicology.Actually reminds me of another gig at the old Poly across the way.It was Anti Pasti with Discharge and The Exploited headlining.Anyway it was full of what looked like 16 year olds,and we were old men,all of 21/22...oh those halcyon days..I remember Discharge were pretty good;from Stoke I think...don't suppose the word "ligger" is still in circulation.....?

“Ah yes the Apocalypes Now tour July 81 and me and my mates were 16. When i think of these gigs i always thought i was older for some reason but by this time we had been going to gigs for a couple of years including some of the matinees, to keep us safe from the older rampaging hoards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I broke my duck seeing Devo at the Appollo.”
