How did you get into 808:
When I was young, I used to have Trumpet lessons, and one day, my teacher showed me a catalogue of instruments, including a whole load of Midi horns. Soon after, I remember seeing Pacific on Top of the Pops, and I haven't really looked back since.

808 Live gigs attended:
Not many I'm afraid. Christmas 93 or was it 94, supporting Madness. An ignorant audience didn't know what they were missing.
Feb 97 at the LA2 in London. A bizarre gig where half the audience were dancing, and the other half were standing perfectly still listening.
Does seeing Graham perform with Bjork count at all?
