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!

BANNOCKBURN COMMUNITY CENTRE 81/82/83??
* 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 :-)

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
