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.

* 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 :-)

Sorry - just joined and not had chance to go back through all the posts yet but the 1981 gig at Middlesbrough Rock Garden was definitely not the 30th March as that was a Monday. The Rock Garden only put groups on Fridays and Saturdays and very occasionally midweek but never a Monday.
I was at the gig and would bet my last dollar it was a Saturday. I remember it as a fairly poor night - the Rock Garden was a fairly violent place and groups like Orange Juice were not very well received.

I would be overjoyed.

In 1984 there was a gig at Tolworth Recreation Centre (my first!)
I think the Crystal Palace Free festival could have been a Rock Against Racsim thing. There was definitely a London park event with OJ, Aswad and I think Madness on the line up.
Was the Hammersmith Palais (Dada With Juice) gig supported by Jonathan Richman? If it wasn't, I think there must have been another gig there that year.
PS I can see myself in the front row in Dada with Juice...

A poster mentioned OJ playing in 1981 or 82 at Leeds Poly. It was 17th June 82, and the Go Betweens supported them. If I remember rightly it was a hastily arranged end-of-term gig, your list shows that date as being in Hull, but I was there, it was in Leeds, and I've got the ticket from it ! I was also down to see the band at Middlesboro Town Hall in July 84 sometime, as I was working there at the time and got a ticket, but I couldn't make it as my (charming) employer dragged me back to the Leeds office on gig-day.
Saw Edwyn and the band this last Saturday at the Brudenell in Leeds for the first time since those days, and it was an absolutely memorable gig. Dying Day, Consolation Prize, Blue Boy and F&L rolled into stuff from the last 20 years and the new album. If any 40 something (?) has a finer back-catalogue I've yet to hear it !

Interested to find this thread, and see there are a few people I know on here (hi Rich!), but for oblique reasons. I'm doing a similar thing for Prefab Sprout (http://psgigs.wikispaces.com). The interest specifically is that I'm hunting for original tapes. Back in the day I remember market stalls selling cassettes of just about all the local gigs - this was in Brighton and London but I'm guessing it was the same everywhere. But few if any of these every turn up these days. I've looked in lots of places, asked on dimeadozen, talked to people in Camden market and record fairs, but never been able to hit the motherlode which exists somewhere in my fevered imagination.
The thought was that someone may know someone who knows someone who did this commercial taping and has a stash of tapes in a loft somewhere. Looking at the lists here impressive numbers of OJ related things from roughly the period of interest have turned up, so I thought it was worth asking. Incidentally if a Sprout recording has turned up online somewhere I'll almost certainly know of it (and in many cases will have originated it), so I don't need googling by proxy, I'm mainly interested in trying to find my way into networks of old school tapers.
So let me know. If not appropriate to add things to the thread there's an e-mail address on my site, but I'll be checking back here too.

I attended an Orange Juice gig in the Victoria Hotel (I think - it might have been the Douglas) in Aberdeen, in 1981. I'm not certain of the date, but I know New Order played there around the same time, and their gig list says they played on 18th April. I'm fairly sure it would have been a week or so either side of that. I do remember that at the start it was announced that the gig would be a short one because Edwyn was still recovering from being assaulted in Glasgow a day or two before.

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....
