xfm week of gigs, with Silver Sun, Warm Jets, and someone else. Can't be positive I was at this, but probably. Was a freebie from xfm, pick up tickets from the old doc martens shop in covent garden.
Found it from this old recording of the first day of xfm.
I attended this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1997. Part of every gig I was at from '87 to 2024. It's an obvious step from my Best Gigs Ever blog post. Yeah I know it's a bit nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm having fun reminiscing about these things.
