True Nirvana

A friend of ours lost her job as a promoter, due to whatever. We teamed up with her to promote bands & booked a show at the now demolished 'Mayfair' ballroom, to put on Nirvana (a little known American grunge act). By chance we'd heard their new album, way before it came out. 3 months later in December when the show took place, 'Smells like teen spirit' had just smashed into the charts & The Trent was the 'soul' outlet for possibly the hottest 'rock' ticket there has ever been in this town! A great concert & a mad night, ending in exposure to Northern soul & a sound beating, for our American friends, on the pool table in the early hours. The success of that tour & the way the album went on to blow up, established Nirvana as one of the most influential rock bands ever. So you can see why, on the rare occasion we tell it, no one ever believes this tale. Nevermind, s'pose you had to be there.
