An Audience With

at Wolverhampton Varsity Balcony 30th May 1998

It was by pure chance that I saw this unique event, Kenickie were due to play a gig at the Wolverhampton Varsity on that night and try as we could there was no way we get hold of a tickets. Two of my friends managed to get tickets so we arranged to meet them after the gig. We decided to wait in the Varsity downstairs, we were starting on our second pint when all the lights in the pub went out. Everyone cheered in the bar thinking that a fuse had blown or something, but after a long while everyone from the concert upstairs came down and we realised it was serious. We were told to finish our pints and leave. We trundled outside and waited for our friends to come out. After a while we noticed a crowd was forming at the side of the Varsity so we went round to investigate. Well, Kenickie were on a Balcony talking to the crowd below using a megaphone. They entertained us by singing Come Out 2 Nite (which we helped out with), I Would Fix You and Montrose Gimps It Up For Charity. We also had an Audience With Kenickie (I didn't here any questions/answers unfortunately).

After they retired inside we decided to go to Blast Off but soon found out that power in most of the town was out! We then went round to out friends house for a spot of sleep deprivation, alcohol, salt and vinegar snacks and good tunes.
