Tuff

Exactly 25 years ago today I was working as a student postman in Hull during the Christmas holidays but, on Saturday 16th December 1989, after delivering all my post for the day, I caught the train back to Sheffield for the night to go and see The Fall at The Leadmill. I reckon it was the fifth or sixth time I'd seen them and they were on blistering form.

There's proof of all this of course in the form of photos, contact sheets and a hand-written gig review.

Opening song.
