Gigography

I’ve just added this page to the site today (14th April 2014), so it’s still a work in progress and a bit of a mess…

If you have any gig tickets, setlists, photos, memorabilia, reviews, trivia etc then feel free to send them over and I’ll put them on the site.

You can email me via hello[at]hobbsy[dot]com or Tweet me @hobbsy

It may take me a while but I will try and create a page for every gig :)

above: an advert (probably from Melody Maker) for The Beta Band’s debut gig on 23rd July 1997 at the Water Rats in Kings Cross, London – alongside TAM and The Kings Of Infinite Space

I believe each flyer for the debut gig was unique — here are a few from John Maclean’s scrapbook

Here’s a rare photo from the gig taken by Simon Kellas:
