Last night of the 'Stepping Off' tour.
No full ticket but I grabbed a few stubs on the way out of the MDH.

Other gigs in Manchester included Gil Scott-Heron at The International and Toss The Feathers at the International 2 as it was St. Patrick's Night.
And if you were out in Eccles you could have seen Sacha Distel at the Talk Of The North!

Preview for @thecharlatans at Manchester University on 17/03/90 by @johnrobb77 from City Life 145 ...

Image of poster taken from a story in the Northwich Guardian about the owner of a bridal wear shop where the old Omega Records was who discovered a treasure trove behind a false wall ...

Here's that Northwich Guardian story in full ...

The support band on that tour were the Midlands-based Honey Turtles who I can't remember seeing but I went on to buy their one and only 12'' single that came out afterwards.
Safe to say it's a bit baggy :)

... there's a bit of info about them in this Cloudberry Records blog from 2015 cloudberryrecords.com/blog/?p=2811
And I've just dug out the white label Dance Mix of 'Don't You Know', converted and uploaded it as I couldn't find it on YouTube...

Here's the other side of the white label of 'Don't You Know'.
No information given so I'm just calling it 'Dance Mix 2'

... and both versions on the standard 12'' seemed to be just the same as the one in the video so here's the extra track.
Not so baggy this one but still a genuine piece of 1990 West Midlands indie from the label that brought you Rozalla :)
