Orange Juice - Gigography / Fansite
I'm in the middle of collecting all information on Orange Juice via the web and articles etc so I can build a definitive OJ website.
The site will contain biog, discography, lyrics, videos, streaming audio, articles/interviews, reviews AND a definitive list of gigs that OJ played! This has never been done as far as I know and i'd like to have a bash at it!

* BOOTLEGGED SHOW
If anyone can fill in the blanks or add some dates for me then i'd be most grateful!
I also plan to have unofficial bootlegs of OJ and radio-sessions streaming on my site - so far I have both Kid Jensen radio sessions, the John Peel ones, a John Peel session from 1981 with Edwyn having a chat and playing "new single" Poor Old Soul, the Mike Read session, full OJ gig at London Lyceum 1983, the three tracks from Glasgow Pavillion gig given away free on tape with What Presence ?! 7"
I have some tracks from the Stirling University gig and one from a Keele gig - would obviously love to get the rest - I know of a handful of other bootlegs floating about - any details would be great.
I'd also like to investigate on how we'd go about getting all the OJ albums put up on iTunes so peeps can buy em??? It's utterly criminal that they are out of print!!
I just want OJ to have a proper and definitive website - there's precious few things scattered about everywhere on blogs etc and it'd be great to have them in one place :-)

Jamie,
Mine are on good old audio tapes. Fall Net offers a service converting tapes into cds. I also have some ticket stubs, gig ads and concert reviews (although these are I understand subject to copyright).

OJ played the Brixton Ace Cinema (along with Orchestre Jazira) on the 11th of November (not sure about the year '82, maybe 83). The gig was apparently filmed for a Channel 4 show called Whatever You Want.

Hi I'm a newbie. OJ played at the Leeds Poly in 81 or 82 supported by the Go-Betweens to a very small crowd. I was 14 and it was my first gig ever. Happy Days. I've still got the poster somewhere, will try and find it and confirm date.

OJ supported Scars at Clouds, Edinburgh on Thurs 20th March 1980, with Chaos first on the bill. I also saw OJ at The Netherbow, Edinburgh (possibly supporting Josef K?) late '79/early '80. It was a tiny little seated theatre and I remember EC's hand visibly shaking before they started their first song!

Edwyn was talking about how bad his stage nerves were in the early days. He was a funny mixture of self belief and low self confidence, almost stage shyness, back then, he says.

I saw OJ at Lancaster University (The Sugar House) in December (possibly November) 1982, supported by a girl-duo band (which, based on others' replies may have been called Strawberry Switchblade). I'm not sure of the exact date though.
Good luck

Good luck getting the site together. It will be hard given it all happened before the net. I also saw OJ play at the "Tav Bar" of the Dundee University Student Union, hard to say when ( I was there from 1979 to 1984. I am not sure if Paul Quinn had a hand in persuading them to play there, as he was a student there at the time.

Hi Jamie - enjoyed tuesday night - thought 'Horse and Condor' were great; particularly the 4 part harmonies.
Found my old diaries but i wasn't very good at writing things in them.Only things i've found which aren't above are:
30/6/79 Netherbow theatre Edinburgh (with JK)
6/8/80 Carlisle (no mention of venue - with JK)
10/10/80 Night Club, Edinburgh (wi JK)
some of the gigs above are in my diary on other days - my diary could well be wrong though. I have the Glasgow tech gig as being on april 24th and the Bungalow bar gig being 8/8/80. They supported the Associates at the Marquee late Aug or early Sept.
Falling and Laughing/Moscow was recorded on 12/1/80
Blue Boy 30/4/ 80
Simply thrilled 23/9/80 mixed on the 9th
best

Hi Malc,
Thanks for these dates - don't want to be pedantic but was the Netherbow show not with you as TV Art as opposed to JK? And if so, was this the TV Art show that was recorded and put on one side of a demo tape alongside a 4-song studio demo?...
Also, the 10/10/80 gig, I've had a tape of that Josef K show for many many years, but it never had the venue's name on it... now I know! ( BTW, you should ken its 'Nite' Club !) And before people ask, no, I don't have a tape of OJ from that night!
The Bungalow Bar gig in August 80, I have a tape of JK that night - only marked as "August 1980" and also have a tape of OJ dated as 9th Aug 1980 (you joined in for an encore of Chance Meeting), can't remember where I got the OJ tape from, but I think I was told the JK tape came via your brother!! Both performances were recorded from the audience, don't suppose you know who taped them? would it have been band members recording the other band on stage?
Cheers, Alan.

Hi Al, I often read mouth-watering accounts of recording s of OJ from the early 80s (the earliest gigs) - but never get to hear them! Would it be possible to (in some form or other (apart from transcription of course!)) put them on the web somehow? That would be really amazing!
Cheers
Bob
