Discounting all the famous DJ's I went to see at various clubbing events in my early 20's, my first ever real music gig was The Fratellis at Middlesbrough Empire in 2006.

"U2 at Cardiff arms park in 1993. Amazing "

We had tickets to that but couldn't be bothered to drive there so we went to see Steve Lukather at The Robin in Bilston instead.

"Rainbow at Bingley Hall in Stafford on 23rd February 1980.

Tickets were £4.

I saw Queen in December that year and there was a big fuss that a rock band had the audacity to charge £10/ticket"

Think of what bands charge now

£10 doesn't get me in my local to see a tribute band. It equates to about £42 now, which is about what we've paid each to see IDLES in December and they're hardly a household name like queen were at the time.

I went to all the MoR's in the 1980's and I think that one was about the worst weather. 1984 and 1985 had amazing weather.

"Duran Duran on my own at the Hammersmith Odeon 1982. With my folks Isle of Wight festival August 1970 when I was four weeks old. What were they thinking???

Surely there were other people there?"

No just me, the band were clearly disappointed at the turn out. I tried to cheer extra loud

I was a festival baby so went to loads before I learned to appreciate it.

The first I actively looked forward to was New Kids on The Block in Manchester December 1991. I still have the scarf I bought

The Wonder Stuff remain one of the best live bands I've ever seen. I saw them at Brixton touring Never Loved Elvis, they were masterly. I wanted to marry Miles Hunt back then.

It's the only income stream that bands have now, pretty much.

Never knew it was called bingley Hall always known it as the county show ground. Also why did they stop with gigs? Just looked at who had played there and mind blowing.
