Somewhere out there are photographs, video tapes, posters, tickets and setlists from forty-five years of Badger gigs — in lofts, in shoeboxes, on VHS tapes nobody can play any more.

We’re trying to find them before the band’s 50th anniversary. If you’ve got anything, we’d genuinely like to see it.

What we’re after

• Photographs from any era — Rising Bridge, the pub circuit, anywhere
• Video, including old VHS, camcorder tapes and DVDs
• Gig posters, flyers, tickets, badges, T-shirts
• Copies of Metal Plated, or any press cuttings
• The 1991 demo, if anyone still has a tape
• Stories. Even if you’ve got no photos, if you were there we’d like to hear about it.

How to send it

Email [email protected] and tell us roughly what you’ve got. We’ll come back to you.

If the files are big, send them through WeTransfer (wetransfer.com — free, no account needed) to [email protected].

If it’s on tape, film or paper and you’d rather not post it, tell us — we can arrange to scan or transfer it and get the original straight back to you.

Please tell us

• Roughly when it was taken, if you know
• Where, if you know
• Who took it
• Whether you’re happy for us to use it on the website, on social media, or in the book

We won’t publish anything without permission, and we’ll always credit the photographer where we can.
