John Cooper Clarke was born 25 February, 1949, in Salford, Lancashire.
I had tons of tickets and programs from the 70's and 80's - Genesis, Pink Floyd, Yes, BBD etc. Unfortunately, they were outside in the workshop when we lived California.

The terrific Sound + Vision tour, which Bowie referred to as the “Putting the old songs to bed” tour.
Third time I got to see Bowie.

just found a handful of tickets going through an old box a few days ago-
fond memories of the Frisell show with a few of my fellow Nelsonians😎
