So, following on from my Top 30 post featuring 'Beggars Can Be Choosers' here is an audio to complement it. Newtown Neurotics bootlegs are anything but plentiful and the couple of recordings I have of the band playing in 1983 have already been posted on here (you can locate them from the band list that appears on the side bar on the right hand side of the site). However, this gig from 2011 perfectly fits the bill as in that year they decided to play their debut album in full. I wasn't at this Rebellion gig in Blackpool, but I did see them play a home turf gig at the hallowed Square in Harlow.
Simon didn't play this gig, but Adam Smith did.
Whilst I cannot offer another 'Beggars Can Be Choosers' era gig, here's a contemporary live review that appeared in NME on 20th August 1983 (and written by the same journalist that didn't have a good thing to say about the album). Not the best of gigs it seems... regardless of the reviewer.
