A quick trivia question for Thursday morning:
Who was the support act at the Smiths first New York gig on New Years Eve 1983?

Hmm, bet it’s a big NY act like The Ramones or Blondie.

Or possibly somebody like Grandmaster Flash?

There’s a contemporary review although I’m afraid it’s by Gary Bushell.

Although why not, they’ve already played host to everybody who’s ever created music
