Over on Facebook a post mentioned Andrew Eldritch remarks about their 1st ever gig which was in York. They quoted "We played our first gig in York, with the Thompson Twins when they were groovy, not a lot of people know that" I then replied with the comment that Eldritch continued "And now they're not so we don't play with them anymore" The poster replied that he didn't say that bit. Am i wrong and just imagined that's what he said, i could have sworn i heard a bootleg with him saying it?
