Ah those were the days ! I think I followed a similar musical trajectory, after leaving Art college, though with some variations. I saw Fields of the Nephilim, Sisters of Mercy, Nick Cave and a lot of those late gothic bands play when I was first in London, then got into some weird 60's psychedelic revival stuff and Grunge too, Who knows we may have crossed paths and never knew it! Great fun and don't know how I managed it really - fuelled on late night coffee and stumbling home from the Night Bus to crash for a few hours before work.
Oh TJ! We are kindred spirits and sisters of the heart. I too, am a huge Chris Cornell/Audioslave/Sound Garden fan! I feel so fortunate to have lived just north of Seattle when Grunge was in full swing - I'm still a Grunge Girl. My husband and I have lived the lifestyle, and your story took me back down that path. It was such fun to be alive and young in those days! I agree, where that energy came from is something only youth will know. We camped, partied, and then worked like nothing happened. Such good times! My daughter saw him in concert in San Francisco, his last before he passed. She too, was touched by him, and I think it was inherent in her DNA to be a fan. Thank you for the walk down memory's lane!

You were so lucky to have been close to Seattle. Party first, work after! Excellent times. Great to know another Grunge fan xx
Such great description, I felt I was living it too! Where does that energy go? Oh to have some now! Jeannie
I'm glad you enjoyed it. If I tried to do all of that now, it would kill me! 🤣 I definitely couldn't camp in a muddy field for days...
Hi Tracey
Been a while since I have seen these photos of Reading and Glastonbury
