lovabulrogue Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Originally posted by BoroughGal I went to MGS at that time - at the time of Live Aid - Mr Astle, the art teacher, was going to loads of concerts, taking photos, and getting them signed - we raised an absolute stack for Ethiopia, but were running neck and neck with another school for the biggest amount. I think both schools got a concert in the long run. And that bloke that did all the mime was there too, if I remember correctly? I was at Myers at the time, Mr Lloyd was my year tutor. It was great. I organised a walk from Holy Bush to Riv Post Office and back, but we did it backwards ! So who are you then, perhaps I knew you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headup Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I was there. I think we raised just over 4000 pounds to win the national competition. I remember everyone trying to get a peak of Howard before the show. I think they had him in the science block for some reason...? At least, we were hanging around there out towards the path round to lower school (as it was then). Like someone else said - It's kinda embarassing that this was my first gig. I think I may have fibbed about it a bit when I started hanging out at Rebels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotdogbird Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 The first gig I ever saw was Howard Jones at the Sheffield city Hall. I think I was about 9 at the time and I was totally mesmerised. I loved his playing and his songs. I was fascinated at the beginning with the mime guy and Howard Jones fake fighting dancey thing. I've loved his music for years as well as Sheffields finest 80's band The Human League. A few years ago I found myself at an aftershow party he was at and I wanted to tell him he was the reason I became a piano player and a singer. For the first time and only time ever, I was completely dumbstruck! Never did tell him. So, If you see him....pass it on haha:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luybell Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I remember this - I used to love Howard Jones. I went to Bradfield so there was a bit of rivalry with MG anyway & I was so jealous when I heard Howard Jones was playing. We went to see him about 10 years ago at Brannigans.
