I recorded the gig on my fone (audio only). A bit distorted in parts but generally a great listen. I love Nev live and have played this every day, especially whilst cycling into town (I play it loud without headphones lol) to do my volunteering stint @ British Heart Foundation.
Nev's song Interpretations are a great pick me up, and have also helped me get in the zone ahead of many a darts tournament. _________________ !!!

Nev never fails to give a great show, even when he's not quite on top form he dos his best to entertain - huge respect to the man!

Indeed Shan. I've lost count of the venues we met up to watch Nev do his thing, many years before any mention of a Specials onion _________________ !!!

I know - I remember his first gig when he came back to the UK, a Sunday night in Northampton's Chicago Rock (I think it was that place) - half filled with chavettes on a hen night, me & Jet & another skin mate were the only ones who actually came to see Nev on purpose I think - excellent performance, I loved it, but can't have done too much for poor Nev's ego playing in a shithole like that!! _________________ "The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind."

Chicago cafe?
I remember Nev's first gig back in the UK as being @ Nottingham Rock City main venue (3,000?)
A tribute Madness band also on the bill and maybe a Jam cover band too?
Bad Manners headlined, with the Can Can girls making it great finale!
It was where i first heard the phrase "pint of wife beater!" Stella Artois. What a strange thing to have stored in the grey matter!
After the gig Nev was on the merch giving away posters (or was it t-shirts?) ..to the ladies, and he wouldn't give me one, even when the venue was virtually empty lol _________________ !!!

No it was defo Northants as we got told off by the police for driving up a bus only lane to the venue, lol!
No Stew - just a handful of regulars who happened to have a gig at their local, massive bonus for them that it was Nev though! _________________ "The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind."
