You could still see the spot where Phil Collins screwed down his drum kit years later.

The Armoury Show


I was at the Armoury Show gig - surprised they didn't go on to greater things.

I saw:

The Sweet - who left the stage after about 3 songs because some male private was spitting at them. There was a 'rock disco' that took over and we had a great night!

Magnum
Nazareth
Uriah Heep
Hanoi Rocks
Lindisfarne
Pallas, Solstice and Trilogy (triple header of new prog rock)

I have hazy memories of seeing The Pogues there but I could be mistaken.

The Gardens had a bit of a purple patch for gigs in the mid 80s when Solid Entertainments tried (successfully) to get a few bands to come but the crowds were very small. Steve Stanley (of Solid Ents) told me he just couldn't keep bringing bands in and not selling tickets so he kind of abandoned the idea.

Had the chance to see The Pogues but having not heard of them prior and they were described to me as " an Irish folk band" I passed the chance of a ticket .

Also saw Rick Mayall do a gig there.

A really good double header one night with the Dangerous Brothers and The Rumble Band on the same night.

Never did see a band live there but once gave local lad Mike Oldham a lift there with some speakers in my Morris Marina, no idea who was on.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
