@geraintgriffith Had tickets for Oasis in 1995 in Notts Uni before they made it huge. Couldn't be arsed going.

@XenonMclaughlin This is exactly the attitude Cool Britannia needs right now. More indolence, less involvement. Well done!

@geraintgriffith I had ticket for Nirvana in Manchester in 1991, but didnt go because it was midweek, I had work the next day and i was still knackered from going to the Ramones the night before. I think that might keep me cool?

@PiesMcQ As ice.

@geraintgriffith Was a good gig though. Astoria was pretty cool though, as was town & country club

@hybridmoments97 So I've heard. Friends who attended remind me, regularly.

@geraintgriffith I did go. They weren't very good that night.

@northeastender I feel better now, thank you.

@geraintgriffith Saw Def Leppard playing to ten people at Bradford University at the end of the seventies but left them to get a beer instead at the far end of the cavernous Communal Building, away from the noise. This is actually true.

@MichaelFBanahan Coincidentally, Joe Elliot's on my radio at thu very moment.

@geraintgriffith @Otto_English I skipped Crosby Stills Nash and Young and saw Jackson 5 instead. Good call.

@lindasea @Otto_English Definitely!

@geraintgriffith Science.

@hannahcweb Finally, the academic recognition I deserve.

@geraintgriffith @JanetStrath I went to the Manchester Academy gig but can't remember what year it was. Is that cool, or should I just go back to sleep with my head leaning uncomfortably on the kitchen table?

@ElijahBarnsUK @JanetStrath Do whatever it takes to get you through.

@geraintgriffith I had the opposite problem at Reading Festival in '91. Nirvana were on the bill but we couldn't be bothered to get out of the van to see them because none of us had heard of them. On a related note, my Dad missed Jimi Hendrix at IoW '70. It must be genetic.

@geraintgriffith As soon as someone signs a record deal …. They’ve sold out !

@FannyUrquhart Wonderful 😊
