March 21st 1991 - Leicester Poly The Raw Tour. If it was a funny time at the last Alarm gig, it was even stranger for this one. Sometimes music is a funny old game and when you are growing up with a band and changing yourself and seeing them grow up and change too, you... Continue Reading →
February 1st 1990 - Leicester De Montfort Hall You've probably gathered, I quite like The Alarm. This was a strange time for me though. Really looking forward to the songs and the first gig of the 90s. I wasn't happy at work, I wasn't massively happy out of it either....and then to compound matters, The... Continue Reading →
February 15th 1988 - Leicester De Montfort Hall I couldn't get enough of The Alarm and Mike Peters singing in these days. I won't be surprised by the time I end going to gigs if these guys are one of my most watched bands over the years. The Alarm had now done 3 great albums,... Continue Reading →

Getting to London from Leicester was pretty easy,... Continue Reading →

The Alarm had still only released the Declaration album at this point, but were attracting a good following having supported U2 a few times. I'm not sure why they ended up... Continue Reading →
January 27th 1984 - Leicester University I'm only a couple of years into gigs, but I'm starting to move away from purely pop and electronic music and into rock. I'm listening to U2 and David Bowie and revisiting music from the late 70s, such as Alice Cooper, The Who, Black Sabbath and got a bit... Continue Reading →
