“I went to the sunday gig.
Got there in the very early afternoon, and was still there waiting outside with my mates when the Buzzcocks arrived...even helped unload their van.
A great gig. Buzzcocks were smashing, but The Slits stole the show! The Worst were ramshackle, but great too!
JCC played a set iirc - but I'd seen him umpteen times already at various Mcr gigs so I may be mistaken! Memory is a bit hazy.
Yes, Shelley & Diggle passed out little "Another Music in a Different Kitchen" badges - the album had just been released!

Patrick Fitzgerald must have been there on saturday as I don't remember seeing him.

As for the venue: it was a life threatening experience just getting in and out of the place, and not much better once inside.
