Good work Monuir. I too travelled widely around Europe as a twenty year-old (1986!) but was playing guitar on tour with a punk band so a little distracted... Wish I'd paid more attention like you.

Thanks Stewfoxy!

I was also abit distracted by my girlfriend but luckily she is a nice girl and if i went shopping cloths and parfumes with her for a few hour she made a deal with me to go to all this places!

That's a very good compromise Monuir! Great pictures again.

Hey Stewy,
Just curious as to which band you played with?

Hey Stewy,

The Instigators (from West Yorkshire). As luck would have it we played two nights in Berlin the weekend the wall came down, around 11 November 1989 - I was 23 years old and what an adventure that was...
