What should one wear to a Cure concert? A Cure tour T shirt, of course. I hunted high and low for one, both at the house (didn’t we once have one in blue?) and in a specialist bar for music fans.

My T shirt hunt now deemed a failure, I went back to my job staffing a show tent where I gave advice to east European immigrants and their pet dogs. It wouldn’t be long now before VJ was due to pick me up and drive me over to the concert in Glasgow.
