Carter USM last ever gig (apparently) - November 02, 2007
So....some how, i found myself stood outside the Brixton Academy waiting for a friend i had not really spoken to for about 15 years......
Carter split up 10 years ago....and this was billed as a last final farewell gig. The Sultans of Ping FC were supporting. I will admit that i only know one of their songs....but it is a very famous one - where's my jumper - what a tune!!!
What a concert - a slight change from Kate Nash - there was no-one in ballet pumps - just lots of middle aged men, shouting the lyrics as loud as possible and loving shouting 'you fat bastard'.
Carter belted out all the classic tunes for two hours - Jen and i danced like fools till we were ready to drop!
Here is the moment when they finally left the stage....
....and yes, my 2nd favourite t shirt made another appearance:
Thank you to Jen for getting the tickets (and here slack friends for not going)!!!
