Other info



12 of us travelled over to Rotterdam in a mini bus. It was a two day indoor music festival (Pandora's Musicbox 22/9/84). The building was similar to the NEC in Birmingham; it had loads of different venues in one big building. The whole experience was brilliant. When NMA came on I don't think the foreign audience knew what was going on, they just stood there and watched us dance through the whole gig. (http://freespace.virgin.net/biffer.a/next2.htm)
