JUST TO CLEAR UP A QUESTION I WAS ASKED THIS WEEK, CONCERNING DEMOB SUPPORTING U2 ON THEIR "BOY TOUR" AT THE MARSHALL ROOMS, STROUD ON THE 19/09/1980 AND NOT 81 ALTHOUGH THE TOUR WAS BETWEEN THOSE TWO YEARS.

THE ANSWER IS QUITE SIMPLY NO, DEMOB DID NOT SUPPORT U2 AS I WAS LED TO BELIEVE, WHAT HAPPEND IS THAT U2 WERE BOOED OFF THE STAGE AND DEMOB JUMP ON AND PLAYED 2 SONGS, ANTI-POLICE AND NO ROOM FOR YOU, THIS WILL BE VAIRIFIED IN DUE COURSE AS A FACT WHEN A COPY OF THE TICKET FOR THE GIG WITH THE SUPPORT BANDS ON IT WILL BE GIVEN TO ME TO CONFIRM THIS FACT.

FURTHER INFO:-U2 Boy Tour ..80 - ..81
 19/0980 Stroud England Marshall Rooms
Support Acts: Midnight And The Lemon Boys

Hey Andy,

I didn't join MM until 1981, but they always kept pretty good records of their shows. The only show MM have listed for Stroud was January 12, 1980 at the Subscription Rooms. MM isn't listed on the U2 web page you reference -- but that lineup (with Midnight and the Lemon Boys) did play the Clarendon Hotel, London on July 10, 1980 (http://www.u2-vertigo-tour.com/show565.html).

MM didn't play any shows at all during August or September of 1980, according to the band's records. Our complete gig list is here: http://www.mediummedium.com/live.htm

All of which means, I don't think we can shed any light on this event! But please let me know if the ticket from the gig says otherwise...!

Cheers,
Steve
