Gigs

A fairly big list of gigs that Discharge have performed (early 80s mainly).  If you have a date of a gig you were at and it's not listed here, then let me know.  Please include as much detail as you can remember - date, place, country, support acts, even price if possible!  If there are any dates that are wrong, get in touch also.
