allright gary.was at that gig in the museum hall in 87.some shit went down allrite.castle street skins came in ,started some shit and expected to get away with it ,but they didnt and they got a battering and legged it .cops came stopped the gig.never seen so many pig landrovers outside a gig in me life .was a great gig til the shit started and i felt sorry for shane from pink turds cus he had put so much into organising the gig.also felt sorry for paranoid visions at the time cus they only got to play a couple of songs, if my memory serves me right.funnily enough similar shit happened the same year at the beefeater in portadown where boneheads started trouble,and a full riot ensued, again paranoid visions set was cut short.first d.i.y gig i was at was the inflicted in drogheda boxing club mid 80s then shrapnel in the c.i.e. club marlborough st. dublin round the same time.great memories/times.
I remember this gig well...we were just talking about it in an interview 2 weeks ago. Shane lost the head completely with some poor fucker who just happened to have short hair, he was so upset and insensed that the nazi bastards had come down to wreck the gig. I thought it was more to do with paddy bashing rather than punk rock though, they were waiting for the fenian bastards to take the stage before throwing punches at anyone they felt was giving a bunch of southerners the time of day, we got to play one and a half songs. Portadown was worse though, the barman jumped over the bar with a baseball bat and started swinging as soon as we got on the stage, I got to tune my guitar and then it kicked off. Chuck got a severe smacking with it and had to be carried to the coach afterwards. Something similar happened in donegal to us too, we did the entire set and it was a great gig except for the 10 skinheads eyeing everybody up from the corner, then they left about 10 minutes before the end and the athmosphere lifted. But when we got outside we found our van had the windscreen smashed!
