Adam & The Ants at Lewisham Odeon, 1980
It was November 29 1980 - 30 years ago this month and Adam and the Ants were at their creative peak. Top of the Pops stardom was just around the corner, ant music for ant people was taking shape at Lewisham Odeon.
On Youtube there's even some footage from the gig. Anybody remember it?

I was there. It was a fantastic gig but quite overwhelming as I was 13 at the time.
The night Antpeople realised they had lost Adam to CBS, and the Ants to McCLaren.
