The Mission
Bristol Hippodrome - 21st March 1990
Support: Something Happens
Also in attendance: TheBruvster, Gary & Julie
Notable for being the only (music) gig my brother has ever been to! I’m not sure how or why he got into the Mission, even if only for a short period, but it made a pleasant, if surprising, change from the terrible, awful commercial dance nonsense he usually insisted on playing. We went with his best mate Gary and Julie, a girl they worked with and who I had gone to school with. Julie had recently passed her driving test and had a new car. Whilst looking for the venue, someone rear-ended us. Not hard, fortunately, but enough to make a bit of a dent and no doubt ruin Julie’s night, even though she was the kind of girl to take it on the chin. The Mission, by the way, were actually very good, and played an encore as their glam rock cover band alter egos The Metal Gurus.
