Some more flyers from the New Cross Venue in the 1990s, when the place was a key indie venue.
December 1990 - A Certain Ratio, Band of Holy Joy and Teenage Fanclub (with the Pastels and BMX Bandits) on consecutive nights. According to someone who was at the latter, Bobby Gillespie from Primal Scream joined Teenage Fanclub on stage for an encore version of 'Get Back'.

Amazing. These bring back some memories!
ReplyDeleteWe always made the trip up to the Venue from Bexleyheath (later Moved to Greenwich) and then I was at Goldsmiths across the road.
This place was a HUGE part of my teens and 20s!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI had two spells as the in house promoter at The Venue. Some of the flyers and adds are from shows I booked and ran. Teenage Fanclub, Oasis, Lush (with an unadvertised Blur supporting), Christmas shows for The Family Cat and Cud, oh yes, The Band of Holy Joy with Momus was one of mine too. Some iof the shows I remember most fondly are New Fast Automatic Daffodils, The Levellers, The Field Mice and Kitchens of Distinction.
Thank you for putting these on line, it's great that these shows are remembered.
WOW! I designed all these flyers! Brings back many, many memories! Thanks for sharing!
