Does anyone have this please?

Evening all. while doing a clearout of cupboards at home i found a whole load of old concert posters from shows that id been to over the years and i thought id see if i could get recordings of any of them. im wondering if anyone has a recording of the UK Subs set from the "Fuck Reading" show from Brixton Academy from August 27th 1994. Or any of the bands from that day. 999, Chelsea, Anti Nowhere League, etc etc but particularly the Subs set. Thanks for listening and im hoping someone can help.

Attention Shoppers

Meedeya Phire is being awkward and difficult at the moment. i dont why people are getting permission denied messages etc etc. all i can suggest is keep trying the links. The ones people are telling me are down arent, ive been trying them from several different devices and locations and they downloaded fine. i know its a bit of a pain in the arse but thats all i can suggest. Im sorry for any hassle this has been for you as i thought id lost another account with them but they do work you just have to be patient. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may be happening? anyways thanks for visiting and leaving comments, the comments are always appreciated.Thanks!
