In Concert 1985

[februarycallendar]

(I think the "To Follow" listing for 9th April 1983 is bogus, as I can't find any evidence of a band of this name existing at the time, however ungoogleable the words effectively are; Radio Times was on strike, the Guardian doesn't say who was on so I had to resort to The Times, and I suspect those words had slipped in by mistake, and I wonder if this was the original broadcast of the Nick Lowe gig repeated on 15th September 1984 ... and one I missed, though it was uploaded here before, Joni Mitchell simulcast on Radio 1 VHF & BBC2 on 19th June 1983.  Anyway, on we go)
