Covid victim apparently, Mensi the frontman of Geordie punk hardmen The Angelic Upstarts, instigators and enthusiastic participants in a riot at their 1979 gig at Macrobert Hall, part of Robert Gordon’s College For Eager Thatcherites, Monetarists And Future Exploitative Aberdeen Businessmen. A pig’s head being used as a volleyball may have lit the touchpaper.
Next day we lost at home to St Paisley, and saw a terrific, but less-exciting Undertones show at Aberdeen University Union.
Just another weekend.
RIP Mensi. I never thought he’d have reached 65.
