My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts
Every gig I have ever seen. Forty-odd years of thud, sweat and beers.
Starting in 1977 and currently covering 1984, if you are a fan of Sheffield music from bands like Cabaret Voltaire and The Human League. Or you like Industrial and Post-Punk music in general, there will be something here for you to check out.
I'm Roger Quail, I grew up in Sheffield and played drums with Clock DVA and The Box in this era.
My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts
My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts - Gig 59. David Bowie, Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, 28th June 1983.
It's a big one. Roger takes a coach up to Scotland to see his first David Bowie concert.
For a distinctly personal take on what are some of Bowie's most well-documented shows; Roger mixes the events of the day itself with some of his memories of growing up as a teenage Bowie fan in Sheffield during the 1970s.
May cause offence to fans of Icehouse, Pilot and the population of Milton Keynes.
Artwork: Rionagh.
Intro and outro music, plus special Bowie-inspired music bed: Simon Elliott-Kemp.

Thank you to Brent and Wilma for the memory jogging and to my editor Nigel Floyd.
