The Wonder Stuff. Disco king tour March 89 at the Birmingham Hummingbird. I'll be watching them in Brum again next month, 27 years to the very day. No idea how many times I've seen them in between |

Mike Oldfield - Wembley Arena, 1979, Incantations tour, with Maddy Prior.
Seen loads of concerts, over the years - Jethro Tull, Heart, AC/DC, Jean Michel Jarre, Rush, Foreigner, Genesis, Chris de Burgh, Madonna... but the last and arguably the best, was Pink Floyd @ Earls Court in '94 (Division Bell tour) - cracking show. |

Whitesnake - think was at Leeds City Hall
Cozy Powell was the drummer at the time and at one point they left him on stage to play on his own for about 20 minutes and he was amazing
Was in...err ...a long time ago  |

Muse at Wembley stadium, it was the first concert at the new stadium and my dad got tickets for £10 each from someone at work who couldn't go, we was about 5 rows from the stage and I had absolutely no idea who they were or any of their songs. Wish I could go back in time and do it again now I know the songs, it would of been brilliant |

Transvision Vamp at Oxford Poly
I was 15 and snuck in with a mate, got to the front row, looking up to see Wendy James wasn't wearing any underwear... fantastic
Made me the man I am today
