“I went to both Lesser FTH gigs but not the Electric Circus. I did see The Damned at the EC. There were only about a dozen people who were there to see them all the rest came for the heavy disco. I thought I was going to get lynched at one point. The gig was not advertised but for a single line in the Evening News. I only got wind of it because they came walking out of our local chippy as I was passing.”
“I knew nothing about 20th anniversary. The concert is very vivid in my memory so I can tell by just a few quick questions who the bullshitters are. If you check out p.59 photo you can see the back of my head. I know it's me because my hair was unfashionably short and nobody else there that night had short hair. I am one of the lads from Denton that Ian Moss aka Moet talks about on p.68.”
“If he stood at the back he missed out badly. Wilson was a journalist and like many in the trade prone to not allowing the truth to get in the way of a good story. He claimed that Mick Hucknall was there. He wasn't. I was with two of his classmates that night. Mick was invited to come along but declined. I am so pissed off with with people who pour scorn on me for claiming that I was there and then readily accepting the attendance of others who weren't. No fun mate, no fun.”
“My ticket was number 264 and my mates 263. Assuming that they sold all the tickets in between then we have a figure of 66 minimum. Considerably greater than the 43 quoted by Tony Wilson who for the record was at the second gig but not the first.”
