My school books were covered in posters of Nick Kamen , Boy George and Madonna.

marina, i missed it but saw it trailed. eric was supporting someone, probably squeeze (still one of my favourites, I'm so bloody sentimental)

puddle, you must've read my mind...teardrops were the 2nd band i saw, i think thompson twins were supporting them. echo & bunnymen - saw them a couple of years later in manchester. a friend of mine saw the blooody lot in wigan one wet sunday (joy div included, i think)

Marina · 18/10/2006 15:14

Time to dust off the Cocteau Twins and Blancmange LPs I think...

puddle · 18/10/2006 15:14

Am very glad I didn't fulfill my ambition of marrying Julian Cope though - not sure I could cope (ha!) with his current garb and enthusiasm for sacred mounds.....

Loved him when he looked like an indie Biggles though.

Marina · 18/10/2006 15:15

They'll repeat it. Well worth catching. I must have seen Squeeze about six times I think One of my faves too.

HowwwlidayMumsPukefest · 18/10/2006 15:15

puddle · 18/10/2006 15:16

Cocteau twins. Had forgotten about them.

HowwwlidayMumsPukefest · 18/10/2006 15:16

Marina · 18/10/2006 15:17

Ladymuck · 18/10/2006 15:17
