11.10.91 / 01 / the shamen at brixton academy
The Shamen on their Progeny tour. Support acts:
- A Homeboy, A Hippy and a Funki Dredd [sic][hip-house one hit wonders]
- Meat Beat Manifesto
- Orbital
- Mark Moore [of S'Express fame][DJ set]
- Mr C [DJ set]
- Irresistable Force
- Ramjac
- Kenny Ken
- Laggy
- Stick
- Colin Faver [DJ set]
9pm to 6am, I think I left around 5 to catch an early Tube and avoid the rush.
I don't remember Orbital, they weren't quite the event-dominating superstars they would become. I saw them 3 or 4 times in later years, always mighty.
It was a great night, but Meat Beat Manifesto's drum machine damaged my hearing. I felt it at the time but didn't realise what it would become.
I liked The Shamen's 12" remixes at the time. This was before the embarrassing 'Ebenezer Goode'.
18.05.91 / 01 / deluxe
Deluxe at Arena, Green Lanes N6 - this was a Danny Rampling night in a rather out of the way spot. I went a couple of times, it was excellent. One time they chucked us out at 5am, and all the people who had looked so beautiful in the club looked terrible in the cold light of dawn. Bedraggled wrecks. And so no doubt was I. I found this immensely funny and giggled helplessly all the way home. I was very happy, but always wondered if someone had spiked my drink.
xx.xx.91 / 01 / pub
My diary records very little of interest in 1991 apart from timesheet hours, but I seemed to spend a lot of evenings in the pub with certain friends.
