Hi Jamie
Do you have any bootlegs of OJ or Edwyn at all?
Wow! God bless your archive Jamie. Have seen Edwyn solo countless times, but only once got to see the Juice a-juicin' up the house in concert.
That was at, as you rightly record: 28TH APRIL - ESSEX, UNIVERSITY
A life changing event for me, aged about 13 or so, I can tell you. My tunes, my clothes, my understanding of pop culture, my hair (that one never worked: a curlytop lad can never really win the struggle for a decent quiff, though god knows I tried) were never the same again.
I remember Edwyn introducing I Guess I'm Just a Little Too Sensitive as a Smiths cover or something more elegantly quipped along those lines. From thereon in it was bye-bye indie, hello chooglin. He also said at one point that last time they'd played Colchester it had "been full of Bauhaus fans". Yikes!
It was one of the greatest nights in my pop life.
I think some of that spirit is still present in the snap of me taken yesterday in a dusty 24-hr games arcade in Nanjing where I'd rocked up at a loose end, and discovered - oh sweet baby jesu - a drumming game. I was only customer, so pic taken by sweet teen night-shift attendant. Needless to say we both had a few goes.
Love atcha

I was at the fantastic East Kilbride gig...support was Goodbye Mr Mackenzie.Orange Juice came on to the sound of Tavares- Heaven Must be Missing an Angel ! #1 line up

BANNOCKBURN COMMUNITY CENTRE 81/82/83??
Regarding this it was actually The Mayfield Centre in St Ninians (small part of Stirling right next to Bannockburn), and to the best of my recollection they played the venue twice. The gigs were at least months apart, maybe even a full year. I always thought it was strange that they played my home town twice but neither time was at the more common Pathfoot hall at the local university.
I can't remember the dates, it was approx 30 years ago so the memory is well oblitererated. I am sure I was familiar with lots of songs so that probably means both gigs were after the release of the debut album.
I've made a couple of songbooks if you're interested. (chords and lyrics for OJ and solo stuff... not exactly finished though)

Hi Jamie
I can offer up two OJ gigs in Cambridge.
The first was at Selwyn College's May Ball in June 1984. I can't place the exact date I'm afraid. I do remember they didn't seem terribly pleased to be there and there were only a couple of hundred watching (all in dinner dress). Very little audience chat and a grumpy Alan Horne roaming the marquee.
The Boomtown Rats were originally booked but the guitarist broke his leg or something; a vote went around the college asking folks to choose between Sad Cafe and Orange Juice. Sad Cafe won by a mile but we press- ganged the organisers to go against the popular vote.
They played later that year on 17 November 1984 at CCAT (Cambridge College of Art & Technology - now Anglia University I think) which was a much better and cheerier gig. You have a gig in Dublin on that date but they were certainly in Cambridge. I still have the tour poster which says they were in Torquay on 15 November and Watford on 16 November (rather than Belfast). I've attached a picture of the poster for you.
They also played in Brighton at the Pavilion Theatre on 22 June 1984. I have the flyer but honestly cannot remember if I was there.

For the record and a gig I don't see on the list..
I attended a Josef K and Orange Juice Headlining gig at Londons Drill Hall in 16 Chenies Steet W1. This must have been 81 or 82 ( I remember Josef Ks song announcements being taped airport ladies voice " Josek Ks next song will be called radio Drill time " etc) ha!

My Bum Fuzz unit just arrived in California along with some plectrums with Edwin art. It took me along time to order this unit, but the twenty five year gestation period for it to be built surely eclipses my lack of urgency. Best regards all...

A while back I asked Edwyn if he would let me use his music on a little film I made. Here is the result: Mill Mechanics
Thanks for that.

Dear Edwyn,
Can I just thank you for your contribution to my life. From that very first shiver I got listening to Felicity on the John Peel Show to the smile I still express today when you burst into laughter half way through Consolation Prize, it's important I let you know how much your music means to me before one of us croaks it.
I was hooked instantly and bought all the singles and albums, the ten inches, 12 inches and even ripped the flexi discs off Smash Hits and Melody…
