The Damned - An Early Gig Review Manor Hill School Finchley November 1976


Whilst sorting through some papers, I found the review below. Short and sweet from mid November '76 is must be one of the earlier live reviews of the mainstream music press. Billed as 'Punks At The High School' this gig saw The Damned play the Manor Hill School in Finchley (where Eater's Andy Blade and Brian Chevette went). The reviewer comments that 'There were more people on the stage that in the audience, but nobody cared'. I believe that some of these stage inders were Finchley Boys, who only five days before this gig had had their first encounter with The Stranglers at the Torrington.
