Bombsite Fanzine 1977; Gig Listing


The following is a list of gig reviews from Bombsite fanzine. Circulated during 1977 around Liverpool, Chester and Manchester. The stories inside are not reviews that have been distorted by a record executive expense account. The writers interviewed band members and captured the sound and energy of live performances from a teenage punk perspective. They are gig commentaries untainted by misty eyed memories, and in many cases, the only historical record of the event available.
