Happy Jack Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Stumbled across this, and was genuinely tempted. https://www.seetickets.com/event/the-steve-hillage-band/o2-forum-kentish-town/2395747?fbclid=IwAR248tnd4X-AiTgQA_O8mccF6PHF6RkLrX0omcpDVh2iU_stA0UC94yAwAA I have vivid (if somewhat stoned) memories of the 1977 Rainbow gig, including the journey there on the tube for some reason. Motivation Radio was riding high and almost permanently on the turntable, I had just discovered that there was more to life than four cans of Fosters and 20 Rothmans, punk was a happening thing that most people knew very little about though I'd pogo'd for the first time a few months earlier (Pretty Vacant). Ah well, the Kentish Town gig offers no seats and anyway - I'm gigging that evening. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 The current bass player player in the band is a member of this forum. Dave Sturt. He lives near me and I’ve seen him around for years. I don’t think he’s been on here for ages, and I can’t remember his user-name. He is quite busy though, he’s the bass player in the current line-up of Gong too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Jack. Who'd a thunk it? I believe was at that gig too. So have you been stalking me these past 46 years? 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentish Town Forum has upstairs unreserved seating. Or has had when I’ve been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - you wouldn't know that from the ticketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
