Default Kurt Cobain's Jumper and Therapy?'s Question Mark: a Musical Guide to Larne!

After reading the posts about Therapy?, i'd like to make two musical facts about Larne (small town north of belfast and my home for 18 years) known to the world!

- Kurt Cobain's Dennis the Menace Jumper.

When Nirvana played the King's Hall in Belfast in 1992, Kurt Cobain pulled a punk being beat up by bouncers onto the stage and told him to go back stage.
Here he was met by Courtney Love who immediately admired his jumper. Offering around £30 for it, the punk handed it over. When Kurt came of stage, Courtney was seen pulling the jumper over Kurt's head

The punk returned to Larne, £30 up, minus a red and black stripy jumper!

- Therapy? - Ever wondered why the question mark exists?

The cover of the first self released Therapy demo was a photo of a well known night time feature of Larne.
Larne is set in a valley. If one stands on one side and looks at the other valley slope, the street lights of Whitla's Brae make a distinct "Question Mark".
This was then incorperated into the Therapy? name! - Fact!


This is why Larne is the most important town in Ireland, this does not suggest you ever visit, let alone stay in the place!
