Details of when this was have faded completely from my mind, but I remember they had the new single "So Fine" on sale for signing, and that single was released in November 1994, so I'm guessing around then.
I've tried to research the exact date of the gig but either it wasn't advertised in the newspapers or I've been unlucky in finding it. I'll keep searching. Oh how I ache for decent searchable archives of recent history...
The band set up way at the back of the store. We were there early enough to see them setup, where I learned to my disappointment much of the guitar work was sampled.
I think they played maybe four songs? Mik taped the gig on a little portable tape recorder but the quality was awful and I stupidly taped over it one day. I wish I still had that awful quality tape, if only to know exactly what they played. I'm an idiot.
I bought a copy of the So Fine single and got it signed. I still have it...
I didn't hear much from Caligula after this, and I later learned they broke up. Some members went on to form the excellent Primary, who's second album "Watching the World" is well work tracking down.
