First - Iron Maiden

Last - Mozart's Requiem in a church 2 minutes away from my house (don't know if that counts as a concert)

Would like to - If we can only choose one and right this minute than i guess it would be Carl Orff's Carmina Burana (don't know if that counts as a concert either)

First important one was The Cult in..er..'87 or '88...possibly earlier - can't quite remember.

Last one was Killing Joke at Manchester Academy last Monday. Fantastic gig!

Would really like to see Gravity Kills, but they split up last January so that's never going to happen :(

Sisters in Berlin this year

Sisters again and Siouxsie And The Banshees

Stray Cats. Reading c1980


2). What was the last one?

Fun Loving Criminals. Manchester Appollo 1998

3). What band would you like to see live right now?

Stone Roses (1989 line-up) or Snake Davis and the mob he used to play with in Leeds Student Union bar c1984. If you mean one that's still around then ... I expect The Chillis are fairly entertaining.

If so, only artistically. They have a new album in the making.
