Short campaign:
There is footage of this gig and a poster on the previous CCMB knows the guy who's got it. If said poster could chivvy said guy along and get it onto Youtube, I'd be most appreciative.
Many thanks.
Anyone who went, can obviously add their comments below.

Tempted...

It's bizarre isn't it! I didn't believe it at first either, but it did happen and there is footage out there. It was an outdoor gig on the narrow field between the club and Bridge Road.Quote:

I know Screaming Lord Sutch performed there many years ago. I will ask around.
Think it was 1989 , cannot remember Squeeze playing but the Christian's and Stranglers did. The organiser was a guy called Marcel Mace who is still about the Diff doing the same today. Event organising and such . He may have footage .Quote:

I think that The Christians were also on the same bill.
The gig was put on by that guy that used to work for James & Jenkins in Llandaff North, Marcel Mace.
Don't think the Stranglers had their usual line up though. Something is jogging my memory about all of this. On a side note. I fitted all the new showers at the rowing club, in the late 80's.
In the 1980/90s they held at least 2 open air festivals. The locals complained it was too noisy, so they stopped. Stranglers played one event and they have had Madassa & the Henesseys there more than once.
Googled , it was 1994 and squeeze were on the bill.
You get to have bands playing the calibre of the Stranglers in your little area of Cardiff and the locals complain obout the noise.Quote:
