Gig Guide and History
Hopefully you should find the gig you went to in the list below. Compiling this is probably going to be an impossible task due to the time that has past but who cares, I'll give it a shot! Please let me know any additions to this list. It is by no means complete or entirely accurate I'm sure. All gigs are UK unless mentioned. Credit is given to contributors at the bottom of the guide. Some dates will link to relevant things like a poster, ticket or flier for the gig.
