didn't the gigography on the tsom site used to say "alcuin college" not "vanbrugh college" from 16/02/1981?

i was sure the 20th anniversary gig was in the same uni but not the same college....

nah i just don't spend all my waking hours pontificating on the colour of von's underpants!

:evil:

as for it saying vanbrugh, this is surely incorrect if they didn't play the same venue 20 years later as the original venue was too small?

:roll:

My ears are ringing again, or are they vomiting chunks of clustered vile? :roll:

Anyway, try this or this one. I hope that one or both can clear up the mystery.

Somewhere is a thread mentioning tighty whiteys as well....

Not that much to add really, but I was at York Uni in 1991 and close to both the Goth Hippy Groovers and Rock Soc that tried to get the anniversary gig (I was told it was the Uni Provost that refused permission for this) organised. At this time I recall that is was Vanbrugh College that was talked about as being the place of the first ever sisters gig.

However the only decent sized gig I went to at the Uni was held in Alcuin and was a goth band, wish for the life of me I could recall who they were....

But then that was 20 years ago and the grey cells fade...

To add a real curve ball to this, on a recent trip to the University to re-live old memories it seemed that several University buildings (due to its rapid exapnsion over the past few years) have been moved name wise from one college to another and Alcuin is adjacent to Vanbrugh.

the goth hippy groovers i knew told me it was Alcuin, up on the hill, by the water tower. at length. incessantly. repeatedly.

and i was told Vanbrugh was used in 2001 due to Alcuin being under refurbishment.

or somesuch nonsense.
