I am greatly indebted to Nick Blakey, James Nice, John Cooper at Cerysmatic, and countless others for providing me the material for which to compile this listing. And of course, to Crispy Ambulance themselves! More information regarding their performances can be found on their site. Listing is based on Alan Hempsall's 1983 list, with corrections, additions, and emendations as needed. Venues listed without the city name are in the Greater Manchester Area.
