Transvision Vamp - probably 1990 - Manchester Apollo. To be more precise though, maybe their support band - And Why Not? (I have no idea how I remember their name, they weren't very good).

Surely that would be later. Transvision Vamp must have been 1989 or 1990. I remember thinking the support bands (and I think there may have been another) were awful. I'd have quite liked Daisy Chainsaw.

Edit - a bit of google suggests it was October 23rd 1989.

Used to be known as Kilburn and the High roads. Brought back memories of the time i lived just of Kilburn High RD With er indoors. Even got married at the Church just round the corner.

Was a late starter going to gigs. The first one was Meatloaf at the MEN.
One of the best ones i saw was Daniel ODonnel, got dragged allong to it by er indoors and her sister.

Daisy chainsaw was quite a few years later. They never supported T.V
I did see daisy chainsaw at manchester uni, about 1997/8 they were great, the support acts, elephant witch and sheep on drugs were fookin awful.

I think Wigan is correct, I can't get the link as I'm in the pub though. Wonder if I've still got the ticket?

I'm not big on going to concerts, most of my favourite bands either done tour in the UK or their tickets sell out in about 10 minutes.
But I did manage to get myself to see Blink 182 in June at the MEN, and AAR were supporting them, brilliant!

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
