Pauly ≫ Gigography ≫ 1995 ≫ Mansun
Southampton Joiners 141 St Mary Street, Southampton, Hampshire SO14 1NS
Hmm seems I have had this gig mislabelled for quite a while. I found the poster and flyer below which I got from this gig and must have put together at the time. I framed this one, and recently got it back from Mum and Dad's loft. Why did I frame this one and not many of the others that I have? I must do more scanning... I really liked Heavy Stereo but don't clearly remember them playing this day, so did they definitely show? Maybe they canned it at the last minute to record Top Of The Pops or something? I'm guessing here. I remember Mansun, and I remember the local support Thermal who played a lot at these britpop gigs.
Mansun's third ever gig, when they were still called Manson, and when they were still good.
See that flyer, I went to most of those gigs, definitely Thurman, Gouge, Fluffy, and Longpigs.
I attended this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1995. I have seen Mansun probably 5 times; Southampton Joiners ('95), Cast @ Portsmouth Pyramids (1996), Southampton Joiners ('96), Reading Festival ('96), + Super Furry Animals @ Mean Fiddler (1996), though I still have some bragging tagging to do so this may go up. Part of all the gigs I was at from '87 to 2024. A natural step from my Best gigs of all time blog post. Yeah I know very nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm having fun remembering these things.
