Red Guitars 13th July 1984

Red Guitars were a local band who had a hit in the Indie charts with "Good Technology". I don't remember much about the gig except that the venue was packed as it was a miners benefit. I emailed the band website and they have now added this to their gig list, as it was missing. There is lots of information about Red Guitars on the following links and some of the musicians are still playing in other bands.

Saw them again on 16th December 1984 at Spring Street Theatre (Hull Truck's previous venue).

Hawkwind 27th February 1984

This was a bit of stepping into the unknown. I had a few of their albums by this time after being influenced by others in our sixth form. The tour was Earth Ritual with quite alot of tribal music/chanting in amongst more well known songs.

I remember Nik Turner's mad saxaphone and lots of swirling lights and sound effects.
I bought the programme:

Here is the set list

Magnum 24th May 1983

Dingwalls, Hull
This was the first major gig I had been to. I first heard the band on the BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock show. The venue was fairly compact but had an annoying pillar or two to obscure your view in some places. I bought a programme:

I remember the band had an extra person to play flute and acoustic guitar on some pieces - e.g. 'Firebird'. They would have played songs from 1982's 'Chase the Dragon' and also the newly released 'The Eleventh Hour'. No doubt 'Kingdom of Madness' would have been the encore. Bought a T-shirt from a seller outside not realising it was an unofficial copy.
