Meeting The Cure at Newcastle 92

John has posted a very nice account (including photographs, I love that one of Perry!) of meeting The Cure at Newcastle prior to the April 22nd, 1992 Wish Tour club show, at his blog, "On Nights Like This". (Thanks John)

Update: John has posted some more photos and press articles from the show.

    This was my one and only CURE gig. I was head over heels for a pretty little red head who was going to be at the gig. I managed to get a ticket at the last minute, it was a great gig.

    Who were the support act for that gig, I vaguely remember that maybe they were irish with a female singer?

    But what about the "pretty little red head"? How'd that go? : ) And is that the reason you went to the show, or were you also a Cure fan?
