My first ever gig “in the pit”, so to speak.

I’d been to quite a few other gigs before this one, but they were generally big ones and I was seated. I got into going to “proper” gigs fairly late, which is a shame. My mum just didn’t like me travelling 2 hours to Manchester on my own. This was my first gig where I was actually within spitting distance of the stage. At the time I thought it was a tiny gig, but I guess I’d call it a bigger gig now, since I’m now used to gigs where there’s like a maximum of 100 people or so haha.

Can’t remember the exact date but it was in October 2006 some time.

Lineup:
Fightstar
Oceansize
The Receiving End Of Sirens
The Blackout

My memory of that night is fairly hazy, since it was quite a while ago now, but I do remember having a fucking amazing time!
