Big name artists you have seen live on 15:31 - Oct 1 by costalotta | The other punk band from Swansea, Cosmic Zaps, I think? Also, Delusions of Grandeur although not punk they were ok-ish (for about 30 mins) but had a stupid name. They also tried very hard to be the 'Swansea' U2. |
Ah DOG Saturday night at the Coach. They were very much U2 writ small. I used to run the place in those days. | ![](/images/avatars/9052.gif) |

I don't, Darren! I have a wall covered with autographed photos, and selfies with quite a few, but I didn't know he was doing a meet and greet in Cardiff, so I'm a tad jealous of you. His father, of course, was something else! | ![](/images/avatars/8862.gif) |

Big name artists you have seen live on 21:32 - Oct 1 with 2086 views | Darran | I've said this before but I've seen Dire Straits three times and I can't stand them. Twice a fella was running a trip to see them from the Baglan Club and me and the boys put our names down for a laugh and another time they were on the bill in a festival. One of the times we were so off it on Bow & Blow I can't remember anything at all about it,my girlfriend reckoned I fell asleep five minutes before they came on,that was at the Showering Pavillion in Shepton Mallet. Good times. | ![](/images/avatars/8644.gif) |

I slept most of the way through a Cure show in Manchester (I think) years ago. I wasn’t stoned or anything, they were just really f*cking boring. Saw them about five or six times altogether. | ![](/images/avatars/8641.gif) |

Seen The Cure in Crystal Palace bowl in 1990. Thought they were brilliant at the time. I then saw them in Cardiff in the mid nineties not so good. | ![](/images/avatars/13823.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

They were good days around that time. Formative years in many ways. I also remember another band, No Flags etc? Something like that. Fairly entertaining bunch. Two brothers in their line up. One of them might have worked at the post. I think one of the brothers in the band, passed away at a very young age? | ![](/images/avatars/13823.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
