# Rock Garden band pass, 7 December 1987

> A printed band pass for the Rock Garden in Covent Garden, with the club’s logo at the top and the words Band Pass at the foot. The band name and date are filled in by hand: The New English, 7/12/87. It belongs to the same night as the admission card for Breakthrough I, and it gives the year of that show in full. Together, the pass and the card record both sides of the evening, the way in for the musicians and the way in for the audience. It is one of the smallest items in the archive.
