Re: Felt - first performance?

Thanks for that Matt.
I looked on the Fall website. Strange but I seem to recall The Fall playing two nights running at the Cyprus Tavern but it doesn't show that.
The only other thing I recall about Felt was one of them leaning over and tuning the other ones guitar between songs because he was the only one that could do it! As I have said I can't even remember if anyone sang but I can remember that the Cyprus was a rough old place. I saw a fair few fights there but the music was always excellent from the DJ and from different bands, many from the Manchester Musicians Collective.
Thanks again.

No worries at all.

Unfortunately I'm only really summing up what I have read in the past, rather than offering a definitive answer. I think I've seen somewhere that Nick needed help tuning his bass, but that might be doing him a massive disservice! All in all, it sounds more & more like you were priviledged to see the first ever Felt show.

As for The Fall's website, though stunningly comprehensive, it is unofficial, and as far as I know, the gigography is based on information that has been supplied from readers - just because only one night at the Cyprus Grove is listed doesn't mean two didn't take place.

Finally, did you see this thread: http://pub27.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2284341502&frmid=34&msgid=970280&cmd=show
It adds a bit of background/historical context to what you likely saw.

Cheers
