We spent a brilliant evening in his company, the set was blinding we were treated like stars because of John. I cried the day he died and felt ashamed that I was in a proper job now and only 'playing' at being in a band. We owed John so much and I felt that real alternative music in the UK had lost it's only champion.

Oxford Sound City - what a gig! Although the twat calling for Ring Of Fire between every song was f**ing annoying! I love the bit at the end when Peel is handing back to the studio and he utters the immortal line: "Not only brill Steve but wizard also, from Oxford Sound City this has been...this has been Cable!!' Class!!

Peeley was a an undoubted legend but, Pete, you and the other 3 guys meant/mean as much to me and my friends as he did to you! I hope you read this - thanks man!

I would have to say the Dingwalls show was my favourite as it had all the elements of a fantastic gig.. great set, meaning, a completely mental audience and the band were well in to it.

I interviewed the band with a friend of mine at the Cheltenham Attic (I won't mention that Richey and Matt were royal pains in the ass and wanted to be eating kebabs rather than talking to fans) which should have been good but seemed kind of empty (it reminded me very much of Matt's description of Derby as being a "shit piss hole").

So yeah.. the best one would have to be seeing them at the Camden Barfly just before Arthur Walker came out.. they all dressed up like Sherlock Holmes and managed to pull the tweed thing off in what felt like a furnace.. grea tlittle set in a room no bigger than a shoebox. This was topped off by me rockin' out by a load of familiar-looking strangers around me.. I figured they were mates of the band so I asked them to get the setlist I got from the awesome sound guy signed for me.. turns out I got 'A' to run the errand for me!! Nice! Still, a most rock night that was..

Saw them at TJs in Newport possibly in Autumn of 1997... was a fantastic gig. And in keeping with me drunkenly annoying people at gigs, I spoke to Richie and he kindly signed my (third) copy of 'Freeze The Atlantic'. Jesus, I must have been embarrassing to be around at the time. Especially after I tried to chat up Morgane Lhote out of Stereolab in broken French.

Twat.

I'm just off to go and give myself a dead arm.

Only got to see them twice in Leicester at the Charlotte.
They were two great gigs.
The best one was when they were on with china drum and carrie, another two good bands that didnt get the recognition at the time.

Great to see a site devoted to such a well liked band though, been looking for ages and this is the first site ive found!

Maybe we will see an increase in interest in the older brit rock groups!

Si:
I saw them at Reading ('96?) ran over to hear the remains of Hydra being played, got a couple of mates into them and went to see them much later in London but they cancelled due to some injury sustained on stage  can't remember what. Then I finally got to see them at their last gig WOW! Turned up about 5 hours early with my mate Dermot and was 4th in the queue. Waited forever it was a nice day and the beer I drank gave me a headache. Not the best thing for a cable gig. Ran in grabbed a couple of the stickers, a drink and waited forever for the support bands to make room.....
