I'm trying to think of bands I have seen more than once:
Stranglers
Hugh Cornwell
Sisters of Mercy
Cracker
Wonderstuff
They Might Be Giants
PWEI
I saw Lush and Sing-Sing, and I have seen Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Creatures.
Hmm...wondering how many bands and spinoffs could there be?
Just remembered, I saw Pete Shelley open for the Bangles, and I have been the Buzzcocks.

Goodbye Mr Mackenzie |
Was racking my brains and going through some old diaries and ticket stubs last night and I may well have to replace GMM with The Psychadelic Furs who I saw around a dozen times in the early 80s!
Stranglers is 100+, Banshees around 25 and SoD and The Godfathers around 20 times each - prior to marriage and becoming a father I did used to go to a LOT of gigs!!

Clearly!
I saw GMM at Leeds Warehouse - a mate of mine from Edinburgh knew the manager or something so we got on the guest list. Shame the band never made it, I thought they were tight.
