 I was the Social Sec at the time, so I booked the gig and I don't remember! I do have a copy of the college mag (Magus) dated 27 Oct, in which an unnamed reviewer (Not me!) says it was Squeeze. The reviewer was very uncomplimentary about the Stackridge performance, calling it a humourless rehearsal of new material.

 In an unpublished ( until very recently) interview with Trouser Press on 1st October 1975, Andy Davis says that new drummer Pete Van Hooke (who made his live debut with the band at this gig) could not make the first three gigs of the tour. So the band have played 3 gigs this week with two different stand-in drummers, one of whom was John Halsey (ex- Patto, Grimms and Barrington Womble in The Rutles) who played one gig.

 Stackridge gave a debut to many new songs at this gig, (including some never released tunes). Several appeared on the Mr. Mick LP the following year.
It also marked the first gig with Pete Van Hooke on drums, and the return of 'Crun' Walter on bass after a 20 month or so lay off.

Setlist:
Bad News,
The Slater's Waltz,
Hey Good Looking,
Coniston Water (aka Bagley Reservoir),
Can Inspiration Save The Nation?,
Fish In A Glass,
Breakfast with Werner Von Braun,
Mr. Mick At The Dump,
Save A Red Face,
The Steam Radio Song/Hurray For Mr Mick (aka Happy Ending Music),
Encore: Your Mother Should Know.

A soundboard recording of the gig is in circulation.

 There is some debate over the identity of the support act on 2nd October 1975. Squeeze (as listed on the ticket) or Warren Harry (from notes - made at the time by a Stackridge fan - of the originally announced support act) or The Mike Storey Band (the recollection from another Stackridge fan who actually attended this gig). It seems we can't be 100% absolutely sure at the moment.
