Shrapnell, a local punk band, wasn’t really a gig, more of a play through of their tunes. Would have been around 84 I’m guessing. |  |

They were, we used to nag their lives away as we were much younger than them. But they always made time for us. | |

They’ve got their own business now driving around and supplying equipment to touring bands. | |

Yes indeed, and beyond, once they got to grips with their direction they certainly made a name for themselves. Too many Shrapnel named bands followed, but for me these boys were superb. | |

Not going to count my mum taking me with her to a Tom Jones concert in Cardiff when I was about 10.
The first concert I went to was Medicine Head at the Top Rank in 1973.
The same year I went to a Status Quo concert at Top Rank.
Edit, I did add ELP then realised it was '74 and at Empire Pool, Wembley [Post edited 15 Oct 2020 19:45]
