MEMORIES

The club was the size of a back-to-back terraced house. By the time the band had set up, the venue had the atmosphere of a small youth club.

In desperation Warsaw launched into a cover of Iggy Pop's The passenger and the audience stood up again. The highlight of the evening was midnight – not just because it was New Year's Eve, but because in true Liverpudlian tradition everybody ran out into the street to welcome the New Year in. The Manchester lads seemed puzzled by the bonhomie
