Padjeq Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Jason Donovan at the NEC in 1990. I was 6 and my mate's ma bought us tickets and took us. I have one clear image of it in my head, we were seated in the stands to the right of the stage. My parents would never be able to take me to anything like that, so I didn't go to another paid gig until I was 18 in 2002 and took myself to see Alien Ant Farm at Birmingham Academy. (Prior to that I did see Danni Minogue and the Outhere Brothers play a couple of tracks at the Big Breakfast roadshow in Centenary Square in the mid 90s.)

Ha it was based on his songs I think I took my young son to see The Eagles original line up when he was very young (he’s now 30). He regrets ‘missing’ them now because at the time he wasn’t arsed in any way to watch them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
