Feet First's tenth birthday party, billed only as "special guest band". We convinced ourselves that this was going to be the secret Seahorses show (John Squire's new band). It was not. Ah well I'd quite often go to Feet First in these days anyway.
They have another tenth birthday event advertised the week before in the Melody Maker, with Carter USM. AND Orlando are also in Camden that night too which ties in with me going to three things on the same night, as I remember this but don't remember it being called a tenth anniversary celebration. Now what was the first one?

I went to this one, more from this year in Paul's gig history for 1996. I have seen My Life Story at least three times; Modern World with My Life Story + Smaller @ University of Portsmouth (1995), Essential Festival @ Stanmer Park (1996), + Koko ('96), though I still have some bragging tagging to do so this may go up. Part of a list of every gig I remember going to from 1987 to 2026. It's a natural progression from my Best Gigs Ever weblog post. Yeah I know it's very geeky, let's let that go though, I'm enjoying remembering this stuff.
