Camden Falcon 234 Royal College Street, Camden, London NW1 9NJ
I bootlegged this gig, the audio's complete with a trip to the toilet part way through... If only anyone still had minidisc 1 we could listen to this again!
This Melody Maker says they were at Colchester Arts Centre this night, have I messed up another one?? I have claimed the minidisc story at another Camden Falcon one, so let's see I will dig out the minidisc, see if I wrote a date on it.

- Actually reading this back in 2022, I just found a minidisc player and a box of discs in the loft. I only got rid of my "big" stereo that had minidisc on it last year or the year before and assumed that was it all gone. But my first recording minidisc personal stereo is up there. No idea if it still works.
