Beach Blonde - Deborah Harry live in South Shields


By David Mooney

I took this photo of Deborah Harry onstage at Temple Park Leisure Centre, South Shields on 1st June 1990.

The support act were Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie, featuring singer Shirley Manson, who would go on to have further success with the band Garbage.  I didn't see them though, as I was in the bar!

I don't remember too much detail about Deborah Harry's set but I do recall her doing a lot of Blondie numbers.  I remember that there was a lot of interplay between Debbie Harry and Chris Stein on the night, and you could tell that they were still pretty close.  He had played a big part in her last album, Def, Dumb & Blonde, which had been released about 8 months previously.
