Man at Crossways Country Club near Bridgend around 1972. 16 years old but no problem getting a pint in there in those days.

Carter USM in Newport leisure Centre. Sometime in the early 90's stood in front of the speaker stack and was deaf for days. Loved it.

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.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

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

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
