PopEx ≫ 2000 ≫ Bull and Gate BLOODBATH!

Well nearly, luckily your correspondent stepped in...

Things nearly turned NASTY at last night's Mark Hibbett gig at the Bull and Gate...

The large crowd of student friends of the support band were getting restless, and it was turning into a Bush vs Gore / Sharks vs Jets stylee stand-off and your dutiful editor had to PHYSICALLY RESTRAIN a Hibbett fan who was on his way out to the car to fetch AN GUN1! Old favourites like Born With The Century, Billy Jones Is Dead and Family Wedding 2021 - while bringing a tear to this hardened cynic's eye - weren't cutting it with the new bloods. In a FLASH of inspiration Mark finished on a fabulous cover of Boom Shake The Room and by the end complete strangers were dancing and hugging...

As to the latter part of the evening, your correspondent has fuzzy recollections of Gene Simmons2 and the Fighting Cocks, but that's too much detail already...
