Camden Underworld

A radio one show, was billed as Longpigs and Fluffy and Menswear were surprise headliners. The glory days of britpop! They got in big trouble for swearing live on the radio. Think I have the day right, let me know if you know better......

Possibly this was 1994, I thought they were one of the first bands I saw at the Joiners, but I've got the details from Oliver Gray's gig list.

The Joiners

Hammersmith Odeon
