On This Day - 25th of June 1988

On this day... 38 years ago

25th of June 1988. A Certain Ratio live at the Astoria, London 

As mentioned on a previous post, I love ACR, one of my favourite bands. The Astoria was a wicked venue, & ACR are always excellent live, good times 🔈 

This would also have been, I think, maybe the 4th night of the Trip - Nicky Holloway’s famous acid house party. Memory is a bit hazy, but I think we got kicked out of the Astoria pretty swiftly after ACR finished, because they needed to get ready for 100’s of incoming acid house lunatics 😆

Foolishly we didn’t stay, but I do have vague memories of heaps of people waiting to get in & a buzz in the air. Instead we jumped in @vinyl.fanclub car & sped down to Brighton to go to another acid night at the Escape. It’s very possible I’ve misremembered this, it was a long time ago, but I think this was all on the same night 😆
