Portsmouth Guildhall Portsmouth

Plus the Pale Saints.

I later went on to work with the lead singer of the Pale Saints at nme.com, was WEIRD telling him I had got him to sign a poster or something for me at this gig.

We followed the Primitives to their London date a few days later.

I went to this one, more from this year in my gig history for 1989. I saw Primitives probably 3 times; Portsmouth Guildhall ('89), Kentish Town Forum (1989), and Southampton Joiners ('91), though I still have some bragging tagging to do so this may go up. Part of a list of every gig I went to from 1987 to 2025. A natural step from my Best Gigs Ever blog post. Yeah I know it's a bit geeky, let's let that go though, I'm having fun remembering these things.
