Crystals
9th January 1978

Sadly, I can't remember who played on which date - with hindsight this was obviously a bit of bandwagon jumping in the sticks, but as a 16 going on 17 year old Bury Grammar School boy, it was an interesting (and cheap) way to spend my Monday evenings for a few months.
Obviously not the first appearance of Punk/New Wave in Bury as we'd had the Rock Against Racism gig at Crystals in 1977 documented on this site - we'd also had the Reducers' first (?) gig towards the end of 1977 in a basement somewhere in the town centre, but these nights at Crystals gathered together a ragbag of football hooligans, wannabee musicians and intellectual-poets!
I made a lot of friends there.
