definitely high calibre for the area - but then it was a touring production.

I went through a phase of wearing black a lot,
although not as exclusively as other people seemed to think (it seems you only need to wear one black thing on most days for people to say that you only wear black), and I never really got into anything else related to Goth culture even though a lot of my friends were into it. I've got a few CDs by The Cure mind you.

I wore black jeans about half the time,
and had a black coat, and I was never that into following fashion. I think that's enough to make you a Goth in most people's eyes. Most of my tops were in all different colours, though. I've never owned a band t-shirt.

I had a black leather coat
It was a lovely cut, it wasn't in the 'Goth' style, it looked a bit more like a business coat but I still had shaven-head oiks yelling "GOFFF" at me.

I only had Queen band shirts. And one of The Who's shirts. So not really 'Gothic'.
