As #JukeboxFridayNight is #ThatFirstTime, I too should probably include the first gig I went to. I'm not going to. Sorry.

I was in my late teens, and it was the Manic Street Preachers during their late 90s leisurewear phase. That's no longer my cup of tea.

My life has had three parts: when I was young, then the times when all the bad things happened, and now the time when I've been trying to live my own life.

And the first gig I saw during this part of life was The Unthanks, supported by The Young'uns. As I've picked Unthanks songs for the last few weeks, I'll have a Young'uns song. I'm pretty sure they played this at the gig in question: Ghafoor's Bus.

(Also, a lovely song, about a very good man from Stockton called Ghafoor Hussain who has devoted himself to feeding refugees.)
