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 51. Simple Minds, Icehouse, the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool, 22nd September 1981.
Seconded by his employers to a mind-numbing admin job in the middle of nowhere, Roger and his work pal Mark take a trip to see Simple Minds live in Liverpool. Happily, Jim Kerr and his band are at the height of their grand metropolitan art-rock powers; touring the just-released 'Sons and Fascination' / 'Sister Feelings Call'.
Also includes The Box, Paul Morley, the dull-as-dishwater Icehouse , Hawkeye, Trapper John and William Cobbett.
