08/03/79 YMCA, London (Throbbing Gristle gig)
THE CURE DID NOT PERFORM!!!
There has been some confusion about this date and venue.
Only Robert was there and only as a spectator.
Robert went to the YMCA in London to watch the group Throbbing Gristle perform.
Chris Parry of Fiction Records was there and he introduced Robert to Steve Severin of The Banshees.
Severin and Robert hit it off immediately and that night
he asked Robert if The Cure would be interested in touring with The Banshees.
Robert had always liked Siouxsie and The Banshees so he accepted.
