Highbury Garage 20 Highbury Corner, Islington London N5 1RD

Plus Posh and Christeen (apparently).

Looks to be the first recorded time of me going to Highbury Garage but I feel sure would have been more times that I have records of, so maybe not. Certainly went to lots of club nights, maybe this was the first gig.

This is from before I started the blog so unlikely to recover any more info from around this time.

I was at this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1997. I have seen David Devant and his Spirit Wife probably 33 times; Phoenix Festival @ Avon Park Raceway ('96), O'Neills (1996), Camden Falcon (1996), Camden Falcon (1996), Southampton Joiners (1996), Club Maker with David Devant @ ULU ('96), New Cross Venue ('96), Tunbridge Wells Forum (1996), Highbury Garage (1997), The Borderline (1997), Dingwalls (1997), University of Surrey Students Union (1997), Mean Fiddler ('97), David Devant And His Spirit Wife @ Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms (1997), David Devant + His Spirit Wife @ Dingwalls (1997), David Devant And His Spirit Wife @ Kings Cross Water Rats ('98), University of Surrey Students Union (1998), Mean Fiddler ('99), David Devant And His Spirit Wife @ Camden Falcon ('99), Highbury Garage ('00), Borders Bookstore (2000), O'Neills ('00), Borders Bookstore ('00), HQ Club ('00), Goldsmiths College (2001), Kings Cross Water Rats ('01), Mean Fiddler ('01), Kings Cross Water Rats ('02), Dingwalls (2004), Islington Academy (2004), Islington Academy (2006), David Devant And His Spirit Wife @ Kings Cross Water Rats (2022), + Kings Cross Water Rats (2025). Part of every gig I was at from 1987 to 2026. A natural step from my Best Gigs Ever weblog post. Yeah I know very nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm having fun reminiscing about these things.
