Someone sent me a 1986 live recording of Bluetrain last year - I had forgotten we used to do a version of 'My Girl'! This was the debut Bluetrain gig at the White Horse in Brixton 31 May 1986, supporting the Soup Dragons. 1986 that classic indie year: indiethroughthelookingglass.com/1986-2/

A nice selection of gigs at The Powerhaus in North London April 1992. I think I was at the Frank and Walters, possible (the) Verve.

Blur live audio from The Buzz Club 20 October 1990 When you drove into Aldershot, the first thing you saw was a sign ‘Aldershot – The Home Of The English Army‘. It’s amusing to hear Damon reference that at the end of the 1st song, ‘Won’t Do It’. Full: indiethroughthelookingglass.com/2025/02/27/b...

This is lovely….Bluetrain. It was all over so fast but I was conscious of the depth of it the whole time. So very special. The first time we’ve played live together since 1990. ❤️

Thanks so much Tim Paton for capturing these classic Buzz Club pics - Tim took so many wonderful photos for us first time around, it is particularly special to have these. Thanks Mark Sutherland who we were in conversation with just before we played with Bluetrain. ❤️
