Steamhead - Local Music on a Worldwide Stage

These are all the gigs Headstrong ever played. In most cases we have a set list or live tape to determine what songs were played, but the later gigs have no such records, so we have to rely on our poor memories.

15-Apr-1989	The Queens Head, Riddings	Quite ironic that Headstrong's first ever gig should be on the date The Titanic sank, since Out in the Cold is one of their most well known songs.

18-Dec-1989	The Toby Jug, Barnsley	Originally this gig should have been our own gig in Chapeltown, but on reaching the venue we found no PA and lights as promised. On contacting the local "PA Bloke" we bumped into Bedlam Choir who we helping him load the van for their gig in Barnsley. They invited us to support them, and this was the first of many gigs we played together on each other's turf. On the drive North I'd noticed the van pulling to the left a little, when we reloaded the van at the end of the night we found a virtually flat tyre. The search was then on for an air hose that worked (gone midnight), but mercifully the tyre was sorted before the drive home in horizontal snow.
