The 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 saw David Devant probably 26 times; Phoenix Festival @ Avon Park Raceway (1996), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ O'Neills (1996), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ Camden Falcon ('96), David Devant + his Spirit Wife @ Southampton Joiners (1996), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ New Cross Venue ('96), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ Tunbridge Wells Forum ('96), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ The Garage ('97), Dingwalls (1997), David Devant + his Spirit Wife @ University of Surrey Students Union ('97), David Devant + his Spirit Wife @ Mean Fiddler ('97), David Devant And His Spirit Wife @ Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms ('97), David Devant And His Spirit Wife @ Dingwalls (1997), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ University of Surrey Students Union ('98), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ Mean Fiddler ('99), The Garage ('00), O'Neills (2000), Borders Bookstore (2000), David Devant + his Spirit Wife @ HQ Club (2000), David Devant + his Spirit Wife @ Goldsmiths College (2001), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ Kings Cross Water Rats ('01), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ Mean Fiddler ('01), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ Kings Cross Water Rats (2002), Dingwalls ('04), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ Islington Academy ('04), David Devant and his Spirit Wife @ Islington Academy (2006), + Kings Cross Water Rats (2022). Part of every gig I was at from 1987 to 2024. 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.
