Plus The Bluetones, a great gig, at a great time, right in the time of Britpop, one of those where we knew up front we were seeing bands that were too big for the pub circuit.
This is probably with hindsight the biggest best bill I saw at the Joiners, having just missed the absolute classics the previous year when Oasis, Radiohead, Manic Street Preachers etc played.
I went to this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1995. Part of every gig I was at from 1987 to 2024. It's a natural step from my Best Gigs Ever blog post. Yeah I know it's very nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm enjoying reminiscing about this stuff.
Other gigs at The Joiners I attended are David Devant + his Spirit Wife ('96), Heavy Stereo ('96), Tiger ('96), Cecil (1996), Mansun (1996), The Divine Comedy (1996), Tripping Daisy ('96), Christian Death (1996), Number One Cup ('96), Northern Uproar ('96), Catatonia (1996), Perfume (1996), Smaller ('95), Longpigs (1995), Fluffy ('95), Gouge (1995), Thurman (1995), Perfume (1995), Mansun (1995), Skunk Anansie (1995), We Know Where You Live ('95), Salad ('95), Sultans of Ping (1995), Marion ('95), Sleeper (1995), Shed Seven (1994), Wishplants (1994), The Primitives ('91)
Other gigs at The Joiners include The Nubiles (1994), Oasis at Southampton Joiners ('94), Green Day at Southampton Joiners (1991), Manic Street Preachers at Southampton Joiners ('91)
