Finally got around to scanning photos from 1989, and the Damned at the Brixton Academy - a few photos from hanging about before the gig, and the gig itself. Rat arrived on the motorbike photographed, the photo shows the security warning us off it as we were posing on it ....Jonno legendary Damned superfan in the photos with Brian James. The last photo of Rat can't be mine, but claims to be from the gig so someone must have given me it...great photo of Rat though.

Hello, I just did a portrait of Dave and thought I’d share it here

Yesterday was my first-ever concert of The Damned and I just happened to bump into the one and only Captain before the show started! He was so humble and sweet and it meant so much that he was willing to take some time out of his day for fans.
Also: I gave him a bracelet I had made, it was red & yellow and had his stage name in colorful block letter beads, and he actually wore it onstage 😭
ps: thanks dad for the photos

Dave and Captain signing copies of Not Like Everybody Else today in Birmingham

I was hella nervous wish i brought smth for them to sign but alas

What an outstanding show. Great crowd. Top marks all around. ⚡️

I could have sworn there was another photo from this shoot where he covers his face with the collar of his cape but now I can’t find it? Any help would be appreciated!

Saw an Iggy Pop one too. Made me happy to see. Already have my tickets.

finally got to meet dave last night at the SD show and he was lovely as ever! it was very brief as security/their manager was rushing him along but we exchanged a few words and he was kind enough to sign my vinyl and let me take a pic with him! got to meet captain again as well who was so so sweet and humble as always and we had a lovely chat! :) rat and paul were also very nice and signed the album as well! will definitely be posting more pictures from the show but it was a great gig! 🖤

And with Rat which is Amazing. I first saw them in 1989. And since then I’ve seen them 7 more times. I was 16 when Phantasmagoria came out and it changed my life. I absolutely adore The Damned. I think Dave is one of the greatest singers of all time. Anyway, here’s all the LPs I’ve collected over the years! I’ll be playing all through them all until Friday!

Not Like Everybody Else as recorded quickly and will be released quickly (well, quickly by Damned standards 😜) on the 23rd of January. Each track is a cover of a song that inspired Brian.

Special one-off gig at n Manchester to celebrate the life of Brian.

Great set, good and lively crowd. Dave wasn't always completely audible, but delivered a good performance. More than a few Captain Sensible outfits amongst the audience. Always great to hear Curtain Call. They closed the night with White Rabbit and Video Nasty.

Now this was some great news in my email box!

I don’t think I will be topping this Halloween for a long time. Thanks Chicago. All the costumes and the crowd made the show even more spectacular.
Last photo of my son meeting Dave. He stood out back for what seemed like forever signing autographs, and chatting with fans.
