My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts - Gig 69. Echo & The Bunnymen, The First York Rock Festival, 22nd September 1984

Roger has a new job working in a Sheffield record shop, and cannot quite believe the amount of free stuff the stores receives from the reps of the big record companies, who are very keen to curry favour. 45s, promo albums, T-shirts and badges. 

Also free were tickets to see Echo & The Bunnymen at a one day festival held outdoors at York Racecourse. So Roger saddled up and went along for the ride.

With thanks to Marc Jones and Nick Robinson.
