Folker 13th Sep 2022		Live Music Nils Lofgren @ University Of Lancaster	Which just goes to prove you should never believe what you read in the papers. The gig was definitely at Lancaster on Saturday May 15th. I kept a diary back in those days, which describes the gig in some detail. It notes that Unicorn were very good, though I now have absolutely no recollection of them. Lofgren came on about 9:45. I didn't think much of him at first, but warmed to him as the gig progressed. To doubly confirm the date, I can tell you that I watched Scotland beat England 2-1 earlier the same day. My diary notes that England were "bloody awful, absolute crap, terrible ..." (no change there, then.) A quick Google of that debacle confirms the date as 15/May/76. The date is further confirmed in the excellent book "When Rock Went To College - Legends Live At Lancaster University 1969-1985", by Barry Lucas & Paul Tomlinson. Barry booked all the gigs at Lancaster during those years and a quite amazing array of talent it was.
Folker 8th May 2021		Live Music Graham Parker And The Rumour @ Odeon	It's very unlikely that this gig was GP "and the Rumour", since he had split from them two years earlier in 1980. The gig would have been billed simply as "Graham Parker".
Folker 6th May 2021		Live Music Rich Kids @ Pavilion	Review Support band were probably called TNT and didn't come on until 10. My diary describes them as "crap" and "doing Quo stuff". Rich Kids didn't come on until midnight so audience was getting a bit "lively", thanks to the long wait. A friend of mine got chucked out but managed to sneak back in. RK were great. Note: I found another site which says that this gig was on the 26th, but it was definitely Friday the 24th. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Folker 6th May 2021		Live Music Buzzcocks @ University Of Lancaster	Review A bit of a disappointment for various reasons, this one. I noted at the time that The Permanents were "worse than dire, impossible to describe" and The Slits were "just bad". Unfortunately, the Buzzcocks' set was ruined by a fight after just a few numbers. This was pretty rare for Lancaster Uni gigs, but punk/New Wave acts did tend to attract yobs, especially from Blackpool. Buzzcocks were obliged to play the rest of the gig with the house lights up which rather killed the atmosphere. 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Folker 5th May 2021		Live Music The Adverts @ University Of Lancaster	I've just added a contemporary review which came to much the same conclusions as my earlier comments.
