Not a big football or music fan then! ?

I just can't attend games, unfortunately. My mental state is too volatile in those sorts of environments.

and while I do love music; I've never really seen the attraction of live music over recorded music - although the environment presents a similar problem for me as football matches anyway.

I went to see them at Sheffield Top Rank in (I think) 1979. 

Only my bus from Matlock to Bakewell was late and it pulled in just as the Sheffield bus with all my mates pulled out and I missed the gig ?

So I was 40 years late, but still had a fantastic night.

Btw is your nickname a Buzzcocks reference? Now I did see them live and coincidentally it was at the same venue. 

Ive seen a LOT of live music and they were the best ever. Shelley just owned the stage.

I'dlike to bring @ariotofmyown into this convo as I've often wondered if you're a Clash fan?

Everyone is a Clash fan surely! Chose this username after going to Pride Park and couldn't believe they were playing 'White Riot' as the players ran out. Anyone know how many times they did that?

A massive Clash fan I used to work with invited me to a Fire Brigade Union fundraiser in about 2001 with Joe Strummer performing. The rest of the Clash showed up and they all played together. I didn't go as had ticket for Comedy show. Strummer was dead a few weeks later
