| Under normal cicumstances, the compilation of a comprehensive
listing of a band's live appearances in its entirety might be something
of an undertaking. Casting around, we can only come up with one band dear
to us which has appeared so infrequently as to make I, Ludicrous' inventory
of gigs seem huge in comparison. that band is the Native Hipsters of "Ooh,
look, there goes Concorde again" fame, who played at the 101 Club in Clapham
in 1981 (Will was there) and again at some strange hall in Camden in,
we think, 1986 (John was there).
But here, just about complete, is the Ludicrous list to date.
