Looks like the venue of this one is wrong. I don't remember this Arab Strap gig, so don't remember where it was, and can find no record of it now. I can look in my big stack of NMEs, though sure I'd stopped buying it by this point. I was in London, so probably there. I get a vague feeling it was ULU.
I attended this one, more from this year in my gig history for 1999. 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 geeky, let's let that go though, I'm enjoying reminiscing about these things.
