Description

DS, signed “Morrissey,” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, August 24, 1984. An ATB (All Trade Booking) performance contract between Paul Darwin for Outlaw and “S. Morrissey on behalf of The Smiths,” with the latter agreeing to perform a concert at Cardiff University in Cardiff, Wales, on March 9, 1984. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.

The Smiths set out on their mini tour performing three dates: September 24th, Gloucester Leisure Centre; September 25th, Cardiff University; and September 26th, Swansea Mayfair. The single ‘William, It Was Really Nothing’ was in the charts and this mini tour was scheduled as a warm-up for The Smiths’ first American tour, which was scheduled for October. The tour, however, was canceled at the last minute so the group could go into the studio to record their album Meat Is Murder.

From the estate of Mike Hinc, former booking agent at Rough Trade for Morrissey, The Smiths, and others.
