katie1997 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I think my first gig was being dragged along (!) by boyfriend at the time to see some cringe-worthy obscure, gothic band in the late 80s/early 90s. So bad I have erased it from memory :))BEST one was the Black Eyed Peas playing outdoors in southern India to a really lovely crowd.

SeanMacGabhann Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Depeche mode. Cork. 1982last gig was depechemode royal albert hall 2010. But I have only seen them 4 times ever so that's a coincidencebut they rock now. Didn't in 1982 mind, but on the other hand very very very few people played cork back then so I felt I should go.
