[Feck_the_Huns]

First time I saw Simple Minds was the McRobert Hall

University Union had a top band playing almost every week

Then there was central ref, TC, Do School etc etc

The Union at Upperkirkgate, phaur Starbucks is now? Saw many a great band in there, whilst working ahin the bar.

Jan 1980, The Pretenders were number 1 with Brass in Pocket, and also number 1 in the Album charts. Folk thocht they would pull the plug on that gig. Did they fcuk. Folk literally hingin' fae the rafters.

I did see bands at the Union but it was actually on the University Campus that I was unaware of...there was also bands playing at Bob's near the Robert Gordon's school. I saw Gun there (I don't like them)...

Oh, so you saw The Pretenders with James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon. Honeyman-Scott would die on the same day as England played France in the 1982 World Cup after taking an allergic reaction to cocaine, whilst Farndon (who was sacked from The Pretenders the day before Honeyman-Scott died) OD'd in his bathtub early 1983.

I don't particularly like The Pretenders but I would have liked to have seen this classic line-up
