"months after months" = "months", obviously 🙄

Obviously I am sticking with my assertion that my actual first gig was Hawkwind at Hammersmith Odeon, because sitting in your school assembly hall WITH YOUR PARENTS simply doesn't count 😉

Andrew (Arfur) Clarke @apcrft.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Strictly speaking Giltrap was my first gig, because he played a concert at my school. Richard Harvey, a session musician on the album was an Old Boy, and persuaded him to play. Probably a fundraiser for a minibus. This would have been a few months after months after his #totp appearance.

TIL that Balham, as it creeps towards street cred, has acquired a bodega. Well, it's cooler than calling it Yet Another Vape Shop
