The Cure: Capitol Theatre, Aberdeen
Phil Sutcliffe, Sounds, 22 September 1979
THIS GIG with The Cure supposedly supporting the Banshees had a somewhat surprising outcome which you'll have read about last week in this journal but lest we forget...when, hopefully, this tour resumes a lot of people will realise what I've seen the audiences at the Reading Festival and Aberdeen Capitol find out recently: that the Cure are arriving and on a fast train.
