Back when it was known as the Tele-West Arena, there used to be a visitor’s book at the Newcastle venue reserved exclusively for bands to sign.
When Chris De Burgh played in December 2000, he signed it “Very best wishes, Chris De Burgh”. But by January 2001, someone had childishly vandalised his page to add the words “I am gay” to his message, written carefully to mimic his handwriting.
Only four acts had played the Tele-West in the time since the De Burgh show, meaning the culprits were either: 5ive, the Corrs, Bjorn Again or the Beautiful South.
Anyone know who it was? hello@popbitch.com |
