Just wondering because at the time I had a pen-friend (you could find pen friends with similar interests to write to
at the back of NME in those days) although I got to know him via a slightly different route, through someone I met at the Elephant Fair in Cornwall when I hitch-hiked down to see the Cure. He lived in Kirkcaldy and a little bit of unused memory makes me think he was at that Cocteaus gig and told me about it!
I saw the Cocteaus about 5 times in all,Royal Festival Hall in London being the most stupendous, and of course you must remember how Elisabeth Fraser used to beat her chest as she sang....
Dead Can Dance used to support the C.Twins and became esteemed in their own right - Lisa Gerrard being possessed with a very powerful and versatile voice.
YES !

it was in Edinburgh, Playhouse I think.
Gosh I used to have a pen friend too, through the NME, he lived in Coventry I think, now that was a looooong time ago.
How I used to wait for The Sounds and NME to come out....those were the days
