MOVE 2003
Because the day in general was perfect in every possible way. I remember getting up extremely early and travelling from London, and not sleeping till around 5am the following morning...then getting up at 4am a day or two later and flying to Ireland with friends to catch them at Witnness (now Oxygen)! |

Getting my "Stay Beautiful" tattoo was pretty memorable (it hurt, and I can always see it!)
Also, not one moment, but when I was younger my then best friend had a habit of letting me down for gigs, so quite often I'd end up going on my own and someone would always befriend/look after/go to the bar for me. Manicsfans are nice

I think Edinburgh corn exchange gig last year is my most memorable just because it was an overall amazing weekend. The gig was amazing and I got to speak to all 3 manics afterwards and got a hug off James. Then staying the weekend at the Haymarket travelodge with loads of other manics fans/FDers and drinking whisky and eating pizza in the t-lodge bar till 3am.
JFPL gig at the barras was also very memorable as was TITP 2009, where we had a banner that made James blush and then the NME used what we had put on it as the title for their review all in all lots of very memorable times for me

I wanted to go to the Move but the venue put me off & the sound system there & looking at the crowd they looked so dead & boring.

The gig for Journal at Wolves was incredibly memorable and I got to bounce around like a loon for YSTS! James' solo gig at Stoke. Getting to stand next to James at Wolves this year and end up in a couple of other peoples photo's, even if he did completely ignore me. I'll let you off as you are usually so lovely James!

So you didn't want to go... And how did the crowd put you off if you weren't there?

From footage I saw, I can't fault the very good line up nor the one on the other days.
Ah yes, I forgot, I also didn't have enough dosh at the time for a hotel for 2/3 nights |

We didn't get to the signing, but we did meet Nicky in the airport the morning after Witnness which was ace. Bit weird that, spotted them going through check in and had to do a double take at first, but he was really cool about me disturbing him so early in the morning.

One of the best sounding gigs i've seen them do, there was not a single thing wrong with that show. The James rant was brilliant as well.

Probably the moment I realised how brilliant THB was. Certainly one of a few defining moments in my life as a music fan.

My definitive memorable moment, like I've said loads of times before, was seeing the vid of Tolerate for the first time.
