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

Ok must be going senile...John Peel says it was The Recognitions and he is never wrang....further in depth research reveals this may have been a tad early for The MacKenzies...no matter was a terrific night...back to Ann Mccleland's (sic) Mum and Dads after...first time I was formerly introduced to my now trusty and ancient crony the fabulous Eeeky Beeky legend that is the honorable Mr Michael Hughes....we had thrown up in the same west end sink a few weekends before...100% true about Tavares ...upwards and onwards....

UNDATED

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.

Hello Jamie,
Sat here looking at the tour programme and can update you on the November 1984 'The Artisans Tour'. I saw and met Orange Juice at the gig on the 15th November at Torquay 400 Club, the 16th November in the programme says Watford Hertfordshire College of Higher Education so the Belfast date above may be incorrect. Hope this helps your search..
Best Wishes, Dom

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!
