Yes, festivals and support bands count, it's bands you have seen live!
50 sounds a huge number, but once you've been to a few gigs, it's really easy

I'm struggling to get to 25, but I bet I've seen one group that not many other FMs have. Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
Either just before Ringo left to join the Beatles. Or the week after.

Yeah, I hoped they'd make it as big as Oasis...then their debut single 'Mark' that I bought on green 7" limited edition vinyl would be worth some spondoolies....
![]() Heh, at first I just assumed that Rick Witter was a whoopsie singing about Mark and 'we would make great lovers'.....it wasn't until I listened a bit closer I realised he meant it as 'mark my words...'. Quite a clever sexually ambiguous song, really. Or me just being thick. Fine band though...I actually thought their 2000 (?) album Truth Be Told was their best, but as Britpop had obviously been and gone by then nobody much cared outside their fanbase
