Show three of the initial set of Saucers gigs, and after a day off, the second of three nights at the Half Moon in Putney...

6 years ago today, show 2 of the initial Saucers gigs following the show at Dingwalls; the first of three nights at the Half Moon in Putney. This was half the capacity of Dingwalls (just 250), a much smaller stage in a back room, and the signage is a little more down to earth...

Six years ago today, a very fortunate crowd of 500 witnessed the first public performance of Nick's Saucers at Dingwalls in London. Were you one of the lucky few to hold a ticket for this show, where no-one in the audience knew what song was coming next?
