New on my TSOM blog, a look back at the first gig of the golden year of 1983. Any more details would be appreciated!

Another nice read
Nik.
I was going to suggest that it had been pushed to Tuesday due to the new year's holiday etc. but if there are tapes referencing the 3rd that shoots my theory out of the water.

Good point, it would have been a Bank Holiday Monday with New Year's Day on the Saturday. Bradford City had a 3 p.m. kick-off on Monday 3rd so it may be that bars had to stop serving at 10 p.m. on the 3rd back in 1983??

Another great read.
I have no idea regarding the date but I can't imagine that a bank holiday would make the gig that less likely, surely gigs happen on every bank holiday somewhere?

Can't confirm the Bradford date, but they definitely played The Warehouse on the 20th January 1983

In Norway you can't even buy beer in stores on sundays... that's even worse
