Yeah one of there security was called Ben Nevis and had a table leg down the back of his pants incase of trouble. Never got it out in time that night and took a bit of a kicking. The lead singer came on stage singing Wanky Wigan and got hit straight in the face with a Newcastle Brown Ale bottle and had to be carried off for treatment.After it all finished there Transit minibus was turned on its side :ohmy: Great night out that was :lol: :lol:
November 1987 remember the brawling but what a day that was.
Do you remember Gannet having a shower in the automatic bus wash? There wasn’t too many windows left in the van either…it must of been a cold drive back to Macc that night!
Aye, was there not scaffold around the front of the stage with a big fat bloke with a 30mm spanner in the back pocket of his jeans on guard? They weren’t on stage long if i remember rightly, never seen as many police cars/vans as got called down Melverley Street that night…good days tho.
I wasn’t a fan of the Macc Lads as I’m a big believer in the adage that music & comedy shouldn’t mix – and on top of that I thought their music was $h!te & they weren’t funny.
However one of my mates was a massive fan of their & I did watch some of their live videos when he was trying to convert me into liking em.
Wasn’t the big fat bouncer bloke they used to take round with them called Ben Nevis? I remember em inviting him up on stage at whichever show the video was from & inviting him to show the audience “your belly & your @r$e” – both were quite big from what i rememberIncidentally I also went to my first gig at the GM Buses Transport Club – Carcass in early 1990 & was also at the Green Day gig there in December 1991 although I’d gone to watch the local band Jailcell Recipes. There were some cracking gigs at that place[/quote]
Aye, Ben Nevis it was, couldn’t think of his name.
