So many tasty bands to see, but I doubt many will turn down the chance to see Prince for £4.50 at the Dominion! Certainly not me. Bill Nelson & Mick Karn before that perhaps. @prince @BillNelsonMusic #MickKarn Sounds Feb 26th 1983

John Dingwall is in Glasgow for #TheArmouryShow & @richardjobson completely avoids the clamour from the crowd to dip in to the #Skids catalogue, which he was so entitled to do. Classy move, & this band’s future is looking very promising already. Sounds Jun 18th 1983
