“Actually- looking at the poster - it was obviously Melodramean. Never knew what became of them but I thought they were pretty good at the time!”

“What a gig that was!

I remember being a wide-eyed lad of 14 going to this gig! There were four support bands, all of varying ability. The one that stood out for me was an electronic band called Melodramatic - very 80's!”

“We snook in with security (by mistake, of course!) and heard the New Order soundcheck. They soundchecked Shellshock and 1963 which was very strange as neither song featured in their set that night!”

“I remember driving down to Reading from Stockport for the Saturday, mainly to see Man From Delmonte. We set off home at 2am and got back after the milkman!”

“I have a later issue of this magazine which featured a free gift of a tiny bit of the Berlin Wall. At least they said it was the Berlin Wall, anyway!”

“I was at the International II gig.

I remember someone threw up at the front right in the middle and the whole venue stank of sick.

All the 'moshers' at the front steered well clear...until the Roses took to the stage with I Wanna Be Adored and then no one cared and everyone piled in.”

“We had our moments!

I sadly lost touch with Cathy Cimelli. She was a star. She gave up acting her age when she heard Pulp on the radio and it changed her life! She died her grey hair bright orange and started swearing at everyone.”

“I think my band, Nudge are in the Top 10 Roadhouse moments.

One of our followers, a bizarre lady in her 60's called 'Sister Cimelli' fainted at the front and the whole evening came to a standstill whilst she was resuscitated. Unfortunately slightly more memorable than our music!”
