Damned Associated - Unresolved Issues
Listed below are some of the issues within these pages that I am particularly keen to obtain more information on (as at 27 April 2007 ie it tends to change often!). As usual, any further information always gratefully received... email whiterabbitskgs@tiscali.co.uk.
The Damned
General
1. Any information on support acts. This has proven to be a wonderful source for investigating Damned activity.
2. Proof that gigs actually took place (or didn't!).1976
1. Any information on early shows - these have been very difficult to track down, particularly as The Damned may not always have been the headliners. It should be noted though, that many conflicting and dubious things have been written about The Damned (even in official / semi-official literature) - hence I am after actual documented facts from the likes of the music press, posters or gig tickets etc.
2. A precise date for a performance at The Royal Academy of Music, Kensington.
1977
1. References to European dates (ie European mainland - non-UK) during January 1977 that may or may not have taken place.
2. Any further information about the US shows during April.
3. April & May European dates - look like there was one in Denmark.
4. August European dates.
5. Confirmation for the Speedway Stadium, Scheessel, Nr Bremen, West Germany show.
6. Further September & October European dates plus date confirmations.1978
1. February College of Further Education, Oxford gig with Japan. Dave Sylvian has often been mentioned by Captain Sensible on stage and it seems that they did play on the same bill - is this the show... did this one go ahead?
2. The Doomed at Canterbury in October. Did it go ahead... what was the venue / intended venue?
3. November European Doomed shows dates.
4. November or December non-UK Irish Doomed dates.
5. 'Solid' references to The Gary Holton shows. Any indication of playing under the name The Nightmares in the Dark - which seems to (?) have erroneously come from a bootleg and become folklore.1979
1. June & July US dates.
2. Possible early October UK gigs.1980
1. February Victoria Hall, Hanley, Stoke gig. Why the one-off gig at this time?
2. European dates of April & May.1981
1. June / July Finnish & German gig dates.
2. Possible July US tour.
3. Any reference to a Southampton gig.
4. June European dates. Going over to the play Rhymrock and not taking the opportunity to play other dates has always seemed unlikely?.1982
1. February & March US shows.
1983
1. February European dates.
2. US May & June shows.1984
1. Possible US dates.
2. June / July UK dates other than Exeter (there was supposedly a low-key, unadvertised, tour).1985
1. Confirmation of European dates.
2.November &December US shows.
3. Any indication of how '2' Manchester Internation dates during December came about - all advertisng at the time suggest a UK tour of 3 dates and only one for Manchester.1986
1. March US shows.
2. Euopean July dates.
3. New Zealand shows.1987
1. European gigs in January & February.
2.Further Australian (and possibly New Zealand?) shows in March & April.
3. Japanese dates for April - though it may be that the single show I have listed (Kohrakuen Hall, Suidobashi, Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan) is an error for a 1986 gig.
4. European August dates.1988
1. February Greek shows.
1989
1. Confirmation of July US dates.
1991
1. October & November European dates.
1992
1. Further February Greek dates.
2. French March dates.1994
1. A November non-UK Irish date.
1995
1. Intended UK July shows.
1997
1. Any information about the April Australian dates.
1999
1. Further April UK gigs.
Naz Nomad & The Nightmares
1986
1. A precise date for Naz Nomad & The nightmares playing under the pseudonym of The Spooks.
The Phantom Chords
1. Dates for the miscellany at the foot of The Phantom Chords gig list.
