Sunday 17 May 1992
VOON

Saturday 30 May 1992
Voon were supposed to be supporting The Scum Pups for an Aids Awareness Day gig. The Scum Pups couldn't play, so "helpfully" flyered around town, so their fans wouldn't turn up by mistake! Eugene James played instead, I think. We did "Pilchards Of Death" and "It's A Nice Thing" - both are mentioned in a review in Local Listings magazine "Clag". The reviewer says we played "It's A Nice Evening", which I thought was rather clever as the reviewer was ME with an assumed name!

Saturday 15 August 1992
Voon supporting Awful (aka Kookaburra).

Thursday 11 February 1993
VOON with Monica's Uncle. I think this was the time Simon couldn't make it so I told people he was in prison...

Thursday 10 June 1993
Great night for the three-piece version of Voon. The versions of "How Voon Is Now", "It's A Message From Another World", "Charming" and "Day Tripper/Day Care Centre" on The Legend Of Voon were recorded during this evening.
