We also used issues of Laxative (19 January 1979) and Laxative Feedback (14 March “1984”. The date is a reference to Orwell’s novel. The true year is 1979). The list was compiled by Special Collections Assistants John Brooker (who listed the 1960s) and Martin Levy (listed the 1970s). We have included references to gigs at local venues other than the University as these may well have been attended by students and also be of interest. Further work will be done on filling the gaps in our holdings of the newspapers and on the bands of the 1980s and 1990s soon. If you remember any of these gigs, can add details of others, or have tickets, posters etc, we would love to hear from you. Likewise if you have any corrections e.g. if an event was cancelled. http://www.bradford.ac.uk/library/special-collections/ 1965 26 January, Leeds Odeon.
