I was a Manc Uni student in the late 80s, and saw Wire at the MDH there on the Manscape tour in 1990 (as well as one of the Internationals inbetween IC and ABIACUIIS). They'd been scheduled to play at MDH again in 89 (with Rollins Band and Band of Susans) but it was cancelled - not sure why It coincides with Leeds United's last game of the season (and my last as a season ticket holder as I won't be renewing). Could be a mad dash after the game - unless 'stuff it' takes over (re Leeds - not Wire).
